Schedule for Week of 28 October

Your usual SAT Vocabulary Quiz on Thursday, 31 October. Effective immediately, you will not be permitted to "re-take" a Quiz unless you present to me YOUR flash-cards that YOU have used to prepare for the quiz. I will inspect these "cards" for YOUR in  name-upper right-hand corner of each card)
(THREE Words from List 6 and SEVEN Words from List 5)


Archetypes and Symbols  (NOTE: You will not receive this as a handout in class, but you should certainly download this resource and place it in your three-ring binder.)

Please be advised that you probably should take notes from any power-point/video that appears below since I will not duplicate it and distribute as a power point handout. We will certainly discuss the content in class as we read Romeo and Juliet.

 
 
Your next nicenet.org conferencing topic has been posted. (Is there such a thing as "love at first-sight"? How would this be possible? In responding to this topic, integrate your "personal" reaction along with your reaction to Romeo and to Juliet. Then, wait until other classmates have posted their "initial" response prior to replying to their post. DUE DATE: 8 NOVEMBER BY 11;59 PM!

Just a Reminder: SAT Vocabulary Quiz on Thursday, 3 October (List 3 (SEVEN Words) and List 2 (THREE Words). I suspect that those students who are not doing well are waiting until the night before and/or are not making up flash-cards. Have a parent or a sibling work with you at home-several days prior to the quiz on Thursdays. By now you should have downloaded the lists, but just in case you have not done so-click on this link: SAT Vocabulary Lists
