Sophomore English

Antigone has been caught burying her brother in defiance of the laws of the king. Next week, we find out if Creon will go through with his plans to kill Antigone for this crime. This week, we have written on what kind of leader Creon really is. Next week, we will be writing about Antigone's pity party - she did the crime, but she doesn't want to do the time.

The Gilgamesh projects are in, and the grades should be posted by Friday at 3:00.

Sixth Period Presentations

Sixth Period students did Chapter Presentations for The Scarlet Letter. The projects and presentations will be on second quarter's grades since we weren't able to get through all of the presentations during one day. The purple vocabulary sheets will count on first quarter. Great job, guys!

A visit from J. Scott Savage

Far World author, J. Scott Savage, visited the Science Fiction/Fantasy class Wednesday, October 28. After encouraging students to keep writing, he signed posters for the students. Slade invited Mr. Savage to visit.

Where the Wild Things Were on Saturday

Members of the Science Fiction/Fantasy class enjoy a cultural experience at Where the Wild Things Are. And yes, we had a great time!

Junior Honors

This week, we have worked on Act One of The Crucible. Students have been completing reading journals to help them prepare for essays on this important play. Next week is the last week of the quarter and The Scarlet Letter Projects are due next week. Second period will be Presenting on Tuesday, and sixth and eighth periods will be showing off on Wednesday. Students, don't forget your starters; you will be handing them in next week. Be sure to check Skyward and make sure your grades are not a surprise.

Fourth Period - Hard at work

Today, sophomore classes wrote on Creon's leadership abilities and then we had a quick peer review. We have finished with Scene One and Ode One. Next week, it's the last week of the quarter and we will be handing in starters on Tuesday, October 27. We will be reading Scenes 2 and 3 of Antigone, too.
