Weekend Details!

Periods 2 and 6:  For next class, read chapters 8-11. You will all be caught up with the reading calendar by Tuesday!  Yay!  As someone pointed out today, MoGo and I have read this novel several times and know the many detailed points of it. As a result, some of our questions are equally detailed, and many of you struggle.  Please understand it's hard not to be so detailed when Spark supplies you with so much information.  Be sure to make QUALITY ANNOTATIONS in your novel for these chapters, and that will help!  Sorry if I failed you as a teacher today.  :(

Period 5: You are reading Chapters 5-7 for Monday.  It's a fairly large amount of pages, so do not wait until the last minute.  Be sure to make QUALITY ANNOTATIONS in your novel for these chapters, and that will help!  You will read 8-11 for Wednesday and will also be caught up! :)

Period 3: As you probably read already, we selected 1984 by George Orwell as our next novel!  You  have the option to bring us money to order your copy ($10), buy your own copy, or you can check one out from a library by searching destiny.dadeschools.net.   You need the novel by Friday, Jan. 18th, as the first quiz will be on Tuesday, Jan. 22nd.   We will collect money Monday ONLY. Again, if you exhaust all of the aforementioned options, and you cannot afford a book, know that we have your back, just let us know!  In addition, bring in your revised news stories printed out and on a USB (in case more changes need to be made).

Period 4: Look in the General Paper (or GP) column to the right of the blog.  Scroll down to the vocab section and there is your new list of words (Unit 6)!  With those words, create a chart, and fill it in accordingly (CLICK HERE TO SEE THE CHART).   In addition, bring in your revised news stories printed out and on a USB (in case more changes need to be made).

As always, know we love you!
