Food Drive and Test

RE: The Food Drive

Well, well. Here is the update. Ms. Constanza's 9A class has 190 cans of food.
We have 50. Heed Jim's call. What can we do to fill up those food pantries?

RE: Next Week

The objective portion of the test on To Kill a Mockingbird will be Monday. The writing section will be next Wednesday and Thursday. After that we'll have fun with a few short stories by Washington Irving.

October 13 and beyond

Hi. I hope that everyone enjoyed the long weekend, and that you are looking forward to getting into the meat of the text. Some of the topics that we will cover this week include: symbols, foreshadowing, notions of masculine and feminine behavior, bravery versus bravado, prejudice, problems with justice, and moral dilemmas. I'm positive that you will find other topics of interest to discuss.

Expect a writing prompt at the end of the week. Any questions, just email me!

I'll see you in class.

Welcome to a new week. As far as To Kill a Mockingbird is concerned, please read chapters 12 through 17 at home and take notes. This assignment is due Friday, October 9.

In class, we are beginning a research unit. All the topics are related to To Kill a Mockingbird. Period 8 will meet in the library and Period 9 will meet in 438. Research notes are due Friday. Please note that merely copying a page and highlighting it will not be accepted. Dated notes belong in your notebook.
