Parents,

Students have begun working on a display of their understanding of the hero's journey using a text of their choosing.

Please review the directions and rubric with your student and check in for updates on their progress.

Uploads are due by 8am this Friday.

The grammar test has been rescheduled to Monday. Diagnostic assessments and practice assignments have been posted on NoRedInk.com.

Parents,

The first assignment to earn Honors credit was to be picked up this past Friday.

None of the students who expressed interest in earning weighted GPA scores seized the opportunity. I was able to hand out four of the direction sheets while on dismissal duty last week, but am further disappointed that the rest still have not come to me.

Honors credit is to be earned through self-determination and extended effort. I will allow those still interested another day to state their intent by retrieving the first assignment. It is due no later than November 19. Please consult with your student and email me with any questions.

Parents, review online grammar practice with your student in preparation for the assessment this week.

Can you reach mastery along with them? How are you at identifying verbs and prepositions?

Happy Monday

# data[].attributes.body
The next two weeks will cement foundation knowledge and initial skills needed to peruse mastery analysis as we move into novels and drama.

Please review thesis statements, symbolism, characterization, and allusions with your student. Casually ask them to define the terms and give an example.

How would they rate their own comprehension of the skills?

Formal study guides will follow to prepare for assessment.

In a culture where being social and outgoing are prized above all else, it can be difficult, even shameful, to be an introvert. But, as Susan Cain argues in this passionate talk, introverts bring extraordinary talents and abilities to the world, and should be encouraged and celebrated.

The year 1777 was not a particularly good time for America's newly formed revolutionary army. Under General George Washington's command, some 11,000 soldiers made their way to Valley Forge. Following the latest defeat in a string of battles that left Philadelphia in the hands of British forces, these tired, demoralized, and poorly equipped early American heroes knew they now faced another devastating winter.
