Monday came so fast. It seems like I was busy all weekend, yet got nothing done.

In English 10 it was pretty quiet in class. They had the entire class period to research for their informative speech. Remember that this is a speech about something. It shouldn't be a list of things, and it should be something that everyone will have an interest in.

In American Government we had fun at the beginning of class watching a parody of the immigration issue from Saturday Night Live. We reviewed the checks and balances with a worksheet. Then we reviewed the principle "Judicial Review". We completed a review sheet on all six of the principles. On Wednesday we are going to have a quiz. Since this is an announced quiz it will have more weight than just a check.

In Literature 9 we finished up our discussion of "The Sniper" (story map). Then we reviewed the vocabulary words (4) from "The Leap". Time was given for everyone to start reading "The Leap," and keep track of details for each section of the story.

Have a good Monday! I must admit I'm looking forward to Thanksgiving and family time.
