Homework: October 17


English 12 (E block)
  • Start reading "The Body." Keep in mind the conversation we had today--remember what it was like to be TWELVE.
  • As you read, MARK UP THE TEXT. Notice:
    • Who is telling the story?
    • Who are the characters?
    • What is the setting?

Readers/Writers Workshop (F block)

  • Write a 1-page response to Edward Scissorhands. You can talk about your observations, questions and/or opinions. Check out the notes below, too--you could write about some of those topics if you don't know what else to say!

English 11 (A and G block)
  • For next class: read and mark up the article, "Against Rules, Amber Vinson, Dallas Worker with Ebola, Boarded Plane." Identify the main idea and supporting details.
  • By Wednesday, complete a post on your portfolio. To do so:
    • Sign into your portfolio website.
    • Go to the Learning Expectation you want to post about (Critical Thinking).
    • Use the bullet points on the yellow handout, along with the guiding question, to help you write a full, thoughtful paragraph about your progress in that Learning Expectation so far this year. 
    • Remember to be specific, include evidence, and analyze your progress.
