Literature
Students reviewed Act II: Scene 1 of The Diary of Anne Frank by taking an Entrance Ticket quiz over character motivation. We then dramatized Act II: Scene 2. We paid close attention to Mr. Frank's reactions to the changing relationship between Anne and Peter and discussed how Mr. Frank is a "touchstone" character for the play. In other words, we can often discern if a development is good or bad by his reaction to it. Composition We spent time in the Computer Lab conducting research for our Heifer International argument. Students should continue to take research notes on their Pro-Con Graphic Organizer. All links to the research articles are available on this website under the "Resources" and "Composition" tabs. Independent Reading Students will make their presentations to small book groups during Literature class tomorrow. Everyone should please remember to bring the artwork and completed questionnaire. Both are due tomorrow. IXL No assignments this week. Vocabulary No assignments this week. Comments are closed.

A Classroom Prayer
Holy Spirit, Giver of all good gifts, enter into my mind and heart. Give me the gift of knowledge and the grace to use it wisely. Help me in all my endeavors. Give me perseverance and fortitude. Help my memory, that I may remember what I learn and recall it when necessary. Guide me in the classroom.
