It's Friday!

I know how hard it can be to focus on school on a Friday, especially after a long week, but let's try to stay focused today.

General - Head over to Google Classroom and answer the bellringer question posted. Then, open up "Most Dangerous Game, pt3" and your Guided Reading Questions.

Honors - We will continue working on our Expository Writing Activity from yesterday. Please get out any notes you need, open the Most Dangerous Game full text on Google Classroom.

STEM - Today, we will begin to explore the components of plot structure, characterization, and various literary devices. For most of you, this should be a basic review of content from last year. Please go to your tab and copy the day's Clear Target into your notebook, then click the link to watch the video.

Happy Wednesday!

Please remember that if you are turning in a homework assignment late, you MUST attach a completed late slip (can be found in the blue bucket on top of the turn-in drawers).  Late is considered after 2:25pm the day it's due unless I've stated otherwise.

Today in General and Honors, we will be reading/discussing "The Most Dangerous Game" and applying what we have discussed regarding plot, character, and literary devices. Please have your binder notebook ready, as we will be taking notes as we read. To get started, please go to Google Classroom and complete the very short Plot Quiz. Then check your tab in the blog and wait for class to begin.
