Monday, January 30th

Honors: We are in the middle of Romeo and Juliet, and I am very pleased with how well we are doing reading and analyzing in class. Nightly HW has been excellent, working with significant passages. We are currently writing thematic poetry and practicing public speaking skills (PVLEGS). Before break, the students will memorize their poem and present it to groups of increasing size. This will create baby steps to presenting in front of the class.

CP1:

Period 7: We are still reading Hole in My Life and working with PVLEGS Public Speaking techniques during class as well. Remember to keep up with the reading at night with HIML!

Period 6: We are beginning Romeo and Juliet and working with PVLEGS Public Speaking in class. Many nights there will be a short quote analysis HW in the recap log.

CP2: We are currently reading Hole in My Life in small reading groups. I think this is a really successful way to study the book, and I can see you all connecting with the story. We will also be working with Sentence Composing as way to improve sentence structure and fluency.
