SENIORS: 

You did some "personal inventory" to get you thinking about your future. Do all of the following in your notebook under the title Activating Prior Knowledge.

First read Things to Think About on this link.

Next, read Activating Prior Knowledge on this link and answer the questions that pertain to you.

Then, look on this link for a list of words. Pick 10 words from the list that you feel describe you. When you are finished, add 5 to 10 words of your own.  By now you should have 15 to 20 words; rank them in order of which words represent you the most accurately.

Finally,  read Making Predictions and Asking Questions on this link and answer the questions.

Your homework is to share your word list with someone you trust and get their feedback: just how accurate were you with your choices?

SOPHOMORES:

We reviewed some literary terms from last year; you probably have a friend in one of my classes, so get the notes from them and put them in your notebook under the title Literary Terms.

We began the short story Salvador, Late or Early.  Here is a link to the story that you should read.  We will continue with the story tomorrow.
