HAPPY HALLOWEEN! (and for us Lutherans, happy Reformation Day as well)
English 1 -- Today in class students took their test over To Kill a Mockingbird. After the test, students were split into groups to begin working on their Maycomb Newspaper projects. For this activity, each student is personally responsible for creating 1 article, 1 editorial or obituary (their choice), 1 advertisement, and 1 of the following: advice column, hometown face interview, classified ad block, or comic strip. That means each student will create 4 pieces total to contribute to their group's newpaper. We will be working on this project for homework and during class for the next week or so.

English 2 -- During this class meeting, classes went to the library to choose their own books for personal reading so that we can read these books for the first 20 minutes of each class for the next 4-5 weeks of class. At the end of this time period, students will give book talk presentations to tell about the book they read. After the trip to the library, students returned to read the rest of Act One, Scene II of Julius Caesar. Through this scene, we were able to begin to get a sense of Brutus and Cassius's true personalities and motivations for disliking Caesar's growing power. Next class we will continue with the play.
