We are so close to Christmas Break it's scary! (See what I did there - scary because it's Friday the 13th? Hehehe)

GENERAL/HONORS: Today  we will be finishing our Escape Room activity to review and assess how much you learned during "R&J." You'll be working in groups for the chance to earn some extra credit, but everyone who participates fully with their group will get the full 50 points for this assessment.

If you are absent ONE of the two days, you will earn the full 50 points for the day you were in attendance as long as you participated with 100% effort that day.

If you are absent BOTH days, you will be assigned an alternative assessment over "R&J"  that will be due at the midterm. Please see Mrs. Keith first thing Monday, December 16 for this assignment.

STEM: Today we will continue working on your "R&J" GIS Project. This is a chance to review and assess how much you learned during "R&J" while also applying concepts learned in your STEM class. Please check the blog for your project sheet, rubric, and draft sheets for this project. This is due Monday, December 16 by 11:59pm via Google Classroom.

Today we will finish up "Romeo & Juliet." Please remember that all guided notes over the movie can be found posted in Google Classroom, and I will accept them as extra credit until Thursday, December 12; after that, I won't take them at all (not turning them in won't make your grade go down, don't worry!)

Happy 2-Hour Delay! ⛄

Today and tomorrow we will be finishing up Romeo & Juliet. There are guided notes that go along with what we are watching, and for most of my classes, these will be an opportunity for extra credit (this does not apply to 5th period). I will be collecting all 3 movie notes sheets tomorrow at the end of class. You must have all the notes completed to get the extra credit, so make sure you're paying attention!

I've posted the Midterm Review on Google Classroom. Please use this study guide to help you prepare for your midterm. Do your best to answer these questions on your own before coming to class on Monday, December 16. I will collect these for a grade. The easist way to complete this review is by saving a copy to your computer and opening with Adobe Acrobat and saving it on your computer; OR by opening it in your internet browser window using DocHub and downloading the copy that way. If all else fails, open it using Google Docs and save a copy to your drive. If you need help, please see me sooner rather than later.

STEM Only: Please check your tab of the blog later today to find your R&J GIS project sheet. I will go over this in more detail tomorrow in class, but you should be familiar with it before coming to class on Wednesday!

Finally, please make sure you turn in the worksheet you were given yesterday over Romeo & Juliet Act 3 Scene 2 - this is for a grade, and many of you need these extra grade opportunities. Hang in there guys, we're almost there!

Good morning!

We're back into "R&J" today, so let's start with a quick quiz over what we watched Friday. If you weren't here, the notes are posted in Google Classroom. Please make sure to get a blank notes sheet from Mrs. Keith and fill in what you missed.

Click HERE to take the quiz, then open up "Romeo & Juliet Act 3 Scene 2" in Google Classroom and prepare for the day. I'm going to need a few people to read as Juliet and a few people to read as Nurse, so start thinking about which role you may want to read as.

If you're absent today, please make sure you take the quiz on your own time. You'll also want to read the text (specifically, the right-hand column where the language is more modern) so you don't fall behind in the story.

Homework: Tonight, you'll need to make sure to complete the Act 3.2 Worksheet passed out in class. If you are absent, please see Mrs. Keith to get this sheet as soon as you return.
