...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.

Nicely done all around today, kiddos! Please contact me if you have a problem with Schoology, and I'll email you what you need. Then, contact your guidance counselor to help with Schoology, because you will need access to it.

ALL 9th GRADE STUDENTS!

You're virtual tomorrow and Wednesday. Make sure your Chromebooks are charged! Also, remember that you are having a quiz on the three types of irony on Friday!

Here's our daily recap!

English 8

You should have your independent reading books by now and should be reading about 12-15 minutes tonight if you haven't yet started your weekly hour of reading. You can always read more, though, so don't worry about making yourself stop if you get into the story!

Today's vocab word is pantheon, which means the group of gods connected to a specific culture or religion. We're learning about the Greek pantheon now, and tomorrow we'll read our first myths! Make sure that in-person students have books and packets in class every day, and virtual students will have all work available on Schoology.

English 9

Make sure to review the definitions of allusion and the three types of irony: verbal irony, situational irony, and dramatic irony. Today we read "War" by Jack London, and your homework is the set of five questions on "War" found on Schoology.

English 9 Honors

Make sure to review the definitions of allusion and the three types of irony: verbal irony, situational irony, and dramatic irony. Today we started to read "Gift of the Magi" by O. Henry, and your homework is to finish reading the story. We'll be comparing it with other stories in class tomorrow.
