Wednesday, December 14th

Pre-AP English
In today's class, we received our final Word of the Day.  Students also received a copy of the study guide for the Final Exam.  (A copy of the study guide can be found by clicking here.)

We also had a class discussion about several of the questions that Lord of the Flies raises for its readers.

Homework:  Students need to finish preparing for the LOTF unit test that they will take tomorrow (Thursday, December 15th).  It will cover irregular verb conjugation, sentence complements and objects, and the action of the entire Lord of the Flies novel.  Students should also continue studying for the semester exam.  First block will take the exam on Wednesday, December 21st.  Fourth block will take the exam on Tuesday, December 20th.

AHSGE Reading Review
"The Lottery" was the topic of today's class.  After reading and watching this short story by Shirley Jackson, students completed a writing assignment comparing and contrasting what they read and saw.
