Pre-AP
Today we took a trip to the library to get acclimatized to one of our greatest literary resources here at Hillcrest. Students learned about book classification and even had the chance to check out a book of their own. This is important because starting today, we will have time in class every day to read. Students can read a book for pleasure or can take the time to catch up on class reading.
We also took our first "Word of the Day" quiz. We will have a "Word of the Day" quiz every Thursday at the beginning of class.
Students need to be prepared for the Romeo and Juliet Act III quiz which will be on Friday, August 19th.
AHSGE Reading Review
The Reading Review class also took a trip to the library. Most of the students in this class are already familiar with the Hillcrest Media Center, but we went for an orientation to ensure everyone's familiarity.
We also continued our reading of The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins.
Finally, we finished our discussion of propaganda and learned how to distinguish fact fom opinion, a skill necessary for recognizing propaganda.
Students need to be prepared for the propaganda quiz that we will have in class on Friday, August 19th.
