Long Weekend Update

Hi,everyone. I hope you're enjoying the extra time off (again!). Get rejuvenated and ready for the home stretch here in the trimester. March (and final exams) is right around the corner!

A few updates on this vacation weekend:

**English 9a...be reminded that we've got a grammar quiz on Tuesday when you return, and it covers ALL of our parts of speech (including the terms on our LAST quiz). Also, be reminded that you're to read pages 645-650 of The Odyssey and answer the accompanying questions 1-6 on page. 650 in complete sentences. Finally, you've got your next set of Greek mythology research items (3 facts per) due on Tuesday as well. Next week, we'll be having another round of Latin/Greek vocab terms and flash cards, and we'll also delve much deeper into our epic poem The Odyssey. Keep bringing your textbooks to class, and an extra set of 10 blank note cards for the vocab lesson coming up!

**English 11b...be reminded that you've got ALL of your Lord of the Flies items officially due on Tuesday when you return...vocabulary, characters, symbols, and Chapters 9-12 study guide packet. We'll be wrapping up our discussion of this book on Tuesday and prepare you for an assessment on the text soon thereafter. In addition, we'll be starting a new text (Night) mid week next week...excited?!

Take care, everyone, and enjoy the time off!
