Updates for the weekend...

Hi, guys. Here's the scoop for next week (a shortened one!)..."important dates" and "weekly schedule" to the right.

**English 9a

1.) Be prepared to hand in all of your novel notes...plot summaries, characters, settings, styles, and theme. Remember to renew your book at the library as well!

2.) Be prepared to give your book presentation in class on Monday. You will give a 2-3 minutes speech regarding plot highlights, dislikes, likes, and an overall recommendation. You'll need your book as a visual, and you should utilize key public speaking skills (EYE CONTACT, MOVEMENT, AND LOUD/CLEAR VOICES). Remember, the key is to PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!

3.) We'll be starting a new research-based project on Tuesday...more details to come.

**English 11b

1.) Be prepared to show me updated Hobbit plot summaries (up to pg. 195) and 8 total pages of your children stories in class on Monday.

2.) Remember that you should be keeping track of any 13 vocabulary terms from the book as well.

3.) We'll be finishing the book and accompanying materials largely in this next week!
