Ninth grade students have been given their research project/final exam project requirements. They are to be researching Shakespeare's "Globe Theatre." We are spending several days in the library this week and next week to give them research time before the library is closed for SOL testing. Any further research that may be needed will be done at individual students' discretion.
Final exam/model due June 9--4th period
June 10--2nd period
June 11--3rd period
News article for Monday--English 11 focus is reading for comprehension as well as being able to summarize and paraphrase. Students are required to read a newspaper or news magazine on a routine basis(3-5 times/week) and to bring an article to class each Monday for a 15 point grade. Students should initially look for articles pertaining to literature and/or language but in the absence of these topics, articles about trends in education or the learning process will be acceptable. Students will report orally on one article per grading period for a 10 point grade so that over the course of a grading period these articles and the oral report will be equal to a 100 point grade. Newspapers and news magazines are available for student use in the school library as well as personal copies of The Roanoke Times being provided free of charge to students in the cafeteria on Wednesdays.
Students have been assigned a novel to be reading.
