Tuesday, December 13th

Pre-AP
We took the fourth quiz on Lord of the Flies today which covered our Words of the Day, irregular verb conjugation, and the action of the last four chapters of the book.  When students finished the test, we discussed analogies and how analogies can be used to learn difficult concepts.

Homework: Students should study for the Lord of the Flies unit test which will take place on Thursday, December 15th.  This will cover the entire novel as well as Words of the Day and all grammar concepts that we have covered in class.  Students also need to complete the "Analogies" worksheet and turn it in tomorrow at the beginning of class.

A copy of the analogy worksheet can be downloaded by clicking here.

AHSGE Reading Review
In today's class, we finished discussing interviewing skills, resumes and cover letters.  Then, we went to the library and students had a chance to finish their resumes and cover letters in class.

Homework: Students need to finish their resumes and cover letters and have them prepared and printed for class on Friday.  (Each student will need to have two copies of each.)  Students will also have to "dress for success" on Friday, wearing the appropriate clothing to class that should be worn in a professional interview.
