If you were absent yesterday, use the study time at the start of class today to study with a partner over yesterday's notes. At the end of class today, make sure to grab a copy of the notes sheet from the sub and copy the notes from Google Classroom (they are currently taken down but will go back up after school today). You also need to get a copy of the Animal Farm Vocab Menu Activity from the sub.
You have 5 minutes at the start of class to study your notes from the week. Once the timer goes off, you'll need to follow the sub's directions to take the test.
After you finish the test, you can use the rest of class today to work on your Vocab Menu, which is due January 21 by 2:30pm.
Welcome to English with Mrs. Keith

If you were absent yesterday, you need to finish the notes posted in Google Classroom. Once done, please check yesterday's blog post to complete the Nearpod activity, as well get the information about the CommonLit homework assignment I assigned last night.
Honors/STEM: Make sure you turn your extended response question into the drawer before you leave the classroom today. If you don't turn it in today, please make sure you turn it in after today with a late slip.
Earlier this week, we talked about the events that led up to Orwell's writing of "Animal Farm." Today, we're going to look at some of Orwell's main characters and why he used allegory to tell this story. Before we get into it, please click here to watch this short movie trailer for one of the versions of "Animal Farm." You'll need headphones.
Once you've watched the video, go ahead and put your laptop away; you will not need it again today. You will need something to write with, though.
Don't forget, if you didn't get your CommonLit assignment done today, you'll need to turn it in with a late slip after today. Also, there will be a test tomorrow over the notes we've taken this week, as well as the CommonLit you did for homework last night, so please make sure you have studied them.

Today you're going to be finishing up the notes from yesterday.
Important info about IXL: You've been assigned 6 new skills in IXL. You can find them assigned in the IXL program, and you can see a list with info about grading and due dates posted in the IXL Skills tab at the top of the blog. It's your responsibility to locate these skills and work on them on your own between now and the end of February when I take them for a grade. However, you are NOT to work on them during class time unless instructed to - this is work to be done outside of class only.

If you were absent yesterday:
- Check the blog post from yesterday for important information
- Get a blank copy of the notes from the sub
- This evening, check Google Classroom for the notes you missed from yesterday
If you were here yesterday, get out the notes you started taking; we will be finishing those notes today. Go ahead and put your laptop away for now.
Once you're done taking notes today, you'll need to click here to complete the Nearpod activity. However, if you try to complete this before finishing the notes, it's going to be a lot harder to work through the Nearpod.
All classes: For homework tonight, there is a CommonLit article posted in Google Classroom. This is due tomorrow.
Honors/STEM only: You have an extended response sheet that the sub will give you. Please complete this before coming to class tomorrow. It will be due to the drawer at the start of class on Thursday.

Welcome back to school, and welcome to 2020! I hope everyone had an absolutely amazing 2 weeks at home, and while I'm sure you're not overly excited to head back to school, hopefully we can get back into our routine smoothly.
As we talked about before break, I'm out for a couple weeks while I get things taken care of with my daughter. However, this is your friendly reminder that I'm in constant communication with my sub, as well as admin and the other teachers nearby (Mrs. Richey, Mrs. Moran, and Mrs. Burkhart) to know what's going on in the classroom while I'm gone. I expect nothing but the absolute most respectful and mature behavior while I'm out, and I will contact parents from home if I need to - there's a lot more opportunity for me to contact them during the school day while I'm home, too!
You will be getting your bathroom passes today, as well as a new seating chart. This seating chart is non-negotiable; don't bother complaining because it's not changing. The sub will use the new seating chart for taking attendance so please make sure you're in the right seat every day.
Okay, so here's what today looks like. You're going to start out by watching this video on your own. Please make sure you use headphones to watch the video if you have them, but put the headphones and your laptop away once the video is over; you will not need it until the very end of the period.
You'll be taking notes today and tomorrow, and you're going to need those notes to study for a test at the end of the week. I will not post these notes on Google Classroom until after school Wednesday, but they will be there eventually.
Okay, that's all for today. Make me proud!! 😊
