This week

This week, we are continuing on with The Devil's Arithmetic.  Please note the following:  for tomorrow, 2-21-2012, students need to have read through chapter 13 (chapters 12 and 13 are assigned for homework tonight).

We will discuss these two chapters tomorrow and complete a classwork assignment on literary irony to analyze these chapters.  Then, we will read chapter 14 together in class.

Your test on chapters 8-14 will be either Thursday or Friday of this week, depending on when your class goes to Jones Valley Urban Farm with Ms. Curry. 

Thursday test:  Hardin/Green homerooms
Friday test: Edwards/Curry homerooms


We also began Vocabulary for the College Bound Lesson 4 words today, so be reviewing those words, definitions, synonyms & antonyms a little each night.

Here is the Power Point presentation we viewed and took notes on this past Friday.  My homeroom and Ms. Green's homeroom will need to go back and read through this presentation, taking notes on the types of literary irony.  It would not be a bad idea to print the slides and keep them in your binder!!
