English I and II (9th and 10th
Grade) will continue to read and discuss short fiction stories. Student will
also be completing their first extended article review which is due October 24th.
Greetings NIAA Parents,
~~~
An extended article review involves students
choosing an article of considerable length (at least 5 pages or more) and
writing a review of that article. I have encouraged students to explore topics
that interest them. So far I have receive ideas ranging from health science,
sports medicine to music.
The specific requirements for this
assignment can be found on my CLASSJUMP.
~~~
Student
will also have 4 reading log homework assignments to complete this six weeks. I appreciate all of
the newspaper donations. Keep them coming!
FYI:
Reading logs serve three purposes:
1. Our students are up
to date on current events
2. They are researching,
skimming and reading, which sharpens their reading comprehension levels
3. They are responding,
reviewing and writing about the information they locate
October is an exciting month here at
