Homework

Make sure that you are studying and reviewing your stems every night.

February 18, 2020: 1st, 3rd, and 6th: Make sure that you are completing your workbook assignments. As you finish you should end up with an argumentative essay. Workbook pages are now due, and your argugmentative essays are to be submitted to Google Classroom. We have been working on these assignments in class for the past month.

4th and 7th periods: We are reading the novel, Chasing Vermeer. Most of the reading is in class, but some students are reuesting to borrow books at the end of the day. This is fine, but please return to me first thing the next morning as I have other students using them too.

  • I have submitted a lengthy assignment to Google Classroom. It is a student packet that keeps up with the book. Please work on the packet as you read and don't wait until the last minute.
  • Please submit your Vermeer painting story to Google Classroom by Friday, February 21st.
  • By the end of class today, February 18, you should have completed through page 42; the end of chapter 4.
  • We will have a quick reading quiz tomorrow to make sure you are reading and understanding the novel.


I have a class set of the novel, but students may purchase their own copy of the book, listen to the audio version (different platforms charge various prices), or try Greenville County's public library branches.
