SENIORS: There is one week left before you will be "pitching" your TV pilot to media industry moguls (aka your classmates). Many of you are behind; don't rely on just doing the work in class--you need to start communicating and writing with each other as homework.
SOPHOMORES: One of the things you will be asked to do for the CAHSEE is to write an essay, but we don't know what TYPE of essay will be on the prompt. In order to prepare you for any essay genre, we are taking the time to front-load your brain with information. Yesterday, you researched a person you studied in school and used that information to fill out a chart; now, if you're asked to write an essay about an historical person, you will have something to say. Today, you researched an historical event, creating an outline of information that you could use if the CAHSEE prompt asks for that genre of essay. I will collect the research for both essays first thing tomorrow.
Also, we've been doing some quick grammar exercises. Due to tech problems, I haven't been able to get those exercises on my blog until now. So far, we've done three; so in your notebook, under the titles Grammar 1, Grammar 2, and Grammar 3, write the answers from the following links: Grammar 1, Grammar 2, Grammar 3.
