Today in Smiths class we spent most of class working on our final acting project. Remember that the end of the six weeks is at the end of this week and all redos need to be done by the end of the week. Also be sure to study for the final which is all about Romeo and Juliet so know your quotes. LETS GET TROPICAL.

Scribe 5/7/12, Monday


Today, we set up our scripts for the Romeo and Juliet final project. This project is worth a large amount of points so it is very important to do good on it because there is NO REDOS. We also tried to practice our lines and add in the actions of our character into the script. The promptbook requires a lot of work so try to space it out over the week. Also try to finish your paraphrase (paraphrase is a restatement of the meaning of a text or passage using other words) on the script turn in as soon as possible. This week is entirely focused on the project so use your TIME WISELY.


Homework:

• Promptbook finalized over the week
• Memorize lines!!!
• Bring script or online version (very helpful to practice in class)

Today in Smith’s class tensions started to rise as we were ready to present our mixed tapes. The class received a new seating chart which everyone was disappointed about. For your mixed tape you could either play music on your ipod or burn the music on a CD. Everyone showed their true creativity with the CD and album covers. Tyler was the brave soul who had to present first in class. He showed confidence and was ready to go. Today all the students were able to listen to solid and very powerful music while they connected to issues. At the beginning the songs for Tyler felt like they were never going to end... Luckily they did. The first five people to go or already went were Tyler, Lou, Austin, Jimmy, and Dan M.

Today on this snowy day in Smith’s class, our homework was to read chapter 11 in Lord of the Flies, and the mixed tape assignment. Remember, the end of the six week period is this Friday. Louis screwed up today when Smith asked him a surprising question about tomorrow. On Friday we are going to start presentations about our mixed tapes. For the presentation you need to have two songs on a CD and play them to the class. Also, we went over the remaining symbols for our Lord of the Flies book. Lou Sugo believes that something is only murder if it’s in a civilized society. The class had an intellectual discussion about what the true definition of murder is. The class agreed that Jack is running a totalitarian tribe. The class together read and annotated “To an Athlete Dying Young”. Finally, our class could either work on his mixed tape assignment or read chapter 11. Side note, Lou screwed up the “We Didn’t Start the Fire” again.

Today in Smith's second hour class we were working hard. We started on our grammar sentences for Tuesday. We then had a quiz over the reading on chapters three and four. After that we went over the reading on chapter four and if we had questions we would discus and answer them. We then started reading chapter and what we didn't finish is homework. We also have our action plan due Friday which is worth 50 points. The six weeks is almost done so make sure that your essay is redone. Today is a Tuesday which means today was a writing lab day to get help. Have a good rest of Warrior Week and have a nice spring break!

Smith’s class was very eventful and busy as it usually is. First we went over the homework that we were given. Tonight we have to finish our action plan, redo our position paper and read and annotate chapter 4 in The Lord of The Flies. After we went over these expectations we did the Monday section of our grammar packet. This week the two sentences were, if we finish our homework we will be able to go to the movie, and the girl who ran with susan and me won her race yesterday. These two sentences are tough but all the answers are in the packet. Next we read and annotated the poem The Road Not Taken by Robert Frost, while reading this poem we looked for literary devices, looked for relationships and connections to Lord of The Flies and Band of Brothers.  After we took our annotated books out we talked about our questions we have about the book and interesting points we saw in the book. This was helpful in clarifying our questions from our reading. Today was very helpful and another great day of learning.

     Today in Smith’s English 9 class, we started off with grammar, during that we learn about infinitives, (to eat, to leave, to jump) and correlative conjunctions with always have two in one sentence (this week is; both/and) After grammar was over we moved on to the song/poem packet and read the poem, To a Daughter Leaving Home, with had main points of the child leaving and the parent not wanting it to happen. This connected very well with our current reading in CIDNT, when Chris left home to live with his mom. After the poem, we talked about the weekend’s reading, ch. 167-181 and the conflicts that arose during it. Later we split up into groups of relationship trace and reading Our homework is finish reading chapters, 191-197, work on relationship trace, action plan completion and redo paper, (you need a conference first)!
