Here's today's recap!

English 8

Today we went over the use of Schoology, and then we read about the goddesses Hestia and Athena. Make sure you're filling out your packets, and also make sure that you're ready with your independent reading tomorrow! Also remember to ALWAYS bring your Chromebook and charger to class!

English 9

Today was a day to make revisions on previous work and turn in any late work. Remember that you have your irony quiz tomorrow, so you will need your Chromebooks. Read "The Lady, or the Tiger?" before tomorrow's class. You can also complete the Kahoot challenge for possible bonus points on Schoology!

English 9 Honors

Today we read "War" by Jack London, and you had a set of questions to complete. Tomorrow, we're going to have our irony quiz, and then we're going to compare "War" to "Lather and Nothing Else" by Hernando Tellez, so make sure that's read, too!

9/22/2020: There sure is a lot of irony here…

...get it?

Okay, on to the class recap!

English 8

Today we read the myths of Zeus and Hera. Make sure you're filling out the last three questions on the Pantheon sheet in your packets, and then, go to page 4 in your packets and fill in the chart for Cronos, Rhea, Zeus, Hera, and Pan! These will be due on Thursday.

English 9

Our short story today, "Lather and Nothing Else," is similar to "War" in that the setting is incredibly important. Think about why. Your questions for "Lather and Nothing Else" are due tomorrow before class begins. Don't forget to bring earbuds/headphones to school on Thursday! Irony quiz on Friday.

English 9 Honors

Your comparison questions for "The Gift of the Magi" and "The Necklace" are due by the beginning of class tomorrow. We're going to discuss the importance of setting with tomorrow's Wind-Down Wednesday video. Irony quiz on Friday.
