Vocabulary News
We are using a new curriculum this year. The vocab words are online at www.wordlywise3000.com. Click on the student arrow, find the correct book (10, 11, or 12) and go to the correct lesson for the week. This program will pronounce the new words, define them, and put them in an sample sentence for context. It is possible to download each lesson on to an MP3 player or other device for listening to repeatedly. For my auditory students, it might be a great thing to use. Try it out.
Novel projects
Our novel presentations will begin this Friday, Aug. 22. We will have had over a week to prepare our Powerpoint presentations, so they should be excellent. I have assigned each student a place on the presentation roster. Be ready Friday to present just in case your classmates come unprepared. Remember, if your presentation is late, I will deduct a letter grade from your final score.
Portfolio
All students should have a decorated 1/2" binder with 6 dividers in the portfolio basket by Friday class time.
Please check the homework page for you class this week.
