Pre-AP
In Monday's class, we finished our analysis of chapters 6-8 of Lord of the Flies. We also finished discussing sentences objects and complements by discussing indirect objects and reviewing direct objects, predicate adjectives, and predicate nominatives. On Tuesday, students took the third Lord of the Flies quiz and were given their final project assignment for the class, which was to choose from an extensive list of art projects related to material that we've covered.
Homework: Read the remainder of Lord of the Flies (chapters 9-12) by Tuesday, December 13th. Also, students must choose which project they will be working on by Friday, December 9th. After this date, students will not be allowed to change projects.
AHSGE Reading Review
In Monday and Tuesday's class, we spoke about what Jaime Escalante called "ganas" in the movie Stand and Deliver. The basis of our discussion was the fact that if there is something that a student wants to achieve, he or she must have the desire to achieve it and be willing to work hard to get there. In relation to the graduation exam, which many students are currently taking, this talk and this movie are meant to inspire student efforts to pass.
In Wednesday's class, students will take a quiz on the movie Stand and Deliver.
