Dec. 2nd Daily Plan

9th Grade -

The day was spent in the library to complete the Banned Books Project started yesterday. Students had the full class period to research the information, and then compile it into a word document following the template designed by Mr. Clark-Erickson.

If you missed this day - the finished project should be a two-page document done on Word. The first page includes -

  • Book Summary, author information
  • Why it was banned
  • Where it was banned, and the driving force behind the challenge.
The second page is for your sources and personal info (name, date, class). Citations must be done in MLA format.

10th Grade -

We continued on our unit on The Crucible, and have added in some writing assignments to connect to the play as we read.

The first assignment is the Connections Writing Prompt. There will be several in-class writing prompts per week. Each prompt is to be 1-2 pages, double-spaced and handwritten. Each response should have clear examples, explanations, and connections to The Crucible.

Prompt #1 - What superstitions do you see in present-day society? What superstitions do you hold? Why do you think people believe in them?

We also completed a worksheet and had an in-class discussion; if you missed class and need this worksheet, e-mail me and I can send you a copy.

HOMEWORK - Finish Act 1 if not completed in class.
