December 10/11

English 1 -- Today in class, students began giving the book talks for which they have been preparing for several weeks now. After today's scheduled book talks were finished, students in 2nd block made "book reports" -- on index cards, they drew images that represented important things from their books and wrote messages about their books that would entice others to read them. Students in B day classes (7th and 8th blocks) will finish up teaching the poems they were assigned last class.

English 1 Homework
Students who still have book talks to present, keep preparing
Begin typing or neatly writing the poems for your portfolios

English 2 -- Today students took their tests over Julius Caesar. Since the test took the vast majority of the class period for most students, any time that was left after completing the tests was devoted to preparing for book talks which will begin next class period.
