The students will begin having vocabulary lists and activities during these last few weeks of school. They received their first list today, and all of their vocabulary exercises are due on Thursday. The quiz on these words will be on Friday. 

They also have a fun activity where they research their birthday history, create a slideshow, and write a narrative about their findings. 

Any work that students want to turn in early is more than welcome!

The students have been given their new set of vocabulary words, so they need to have all of the exercises turned in by Thursday. Their quiz will be Friday, as usual. 

They will also participate in the birthday history mini-project. Students will need to create a Canva slideshow and write a 1-2 page narrative about their findings. This is due on Thursday.

The rhetorical analysis unit is going well. We started using the SOAPSTone analysis model to gain more insight into the speakers and their messages. 

Anthony and Solomon will be expected to deliver a 5-minute speech at the conclusion of this unit. I am looking forward to hearing about their chosen topics.

Canterbury Tales wrapped up this week! The students' grades were awesome, and they can now say that they conquered one of the most challenging literary works in history. 

We are working on MLA formatting, and students are in the "gathering phase" of their research projects. These are due on April 17th, and they were given ample notice.
