Course Summaries and Notices:

English Div 4 and 5: Please look at the To Do Board to see if you are on missing assignments lists. This is your "to do". Many of you did not submit The Lottery response. You are continuing to explore dystopia by looking at its opposite, Utopia. You brainstormed what an ideal country would be like. Then, you read an African American folk tale describing a Utopia and inferred what the people who wrote it lived like to wish for such a world. After that, you revisited your own Utopia and wondered why you hoped for the items that you listed.

Math Div 4: You did a review on fractions and then wrote a quick assessment to see where you are at with that skill.

S.S. Div 3 and 4: You were given another RESEARCH block. A reminder that ONLY the research for the project is due on November 27. The reason behind this goes back to the first unit. How do you know what you know about your topic? Show me the evidence or your audience will not believe you. Once you prove to me that you know what you know, I will be teaching you how to organize information into subcategories. THEN, and only then, will I allow you to even start a project. We will decide on a reasonable due date as a class based on how much build/write/create time that you think you will need.
