Literature
We spent some time in class reviewing Act I of the play, The Diary of Anne Frank, and then we dramatized Act II: Scene 1. In our discussion, we emphasized the various external conflicts and searched for dialogue to support our inferences about character motivations. We will continue with Act II: Scene 2 tomorrow. Composition Today, we finished reading and analyzing our third source for the argument composition about Heifer International. Tomorrow, we will go to the computer lab, and students will be able to research additional sources on their own. Students should continue to bring all Heifer materials--especially their Pro-Con Graphic Organizer--to class each day. Independent Reading Book reports are due on Wednesday, March 30. Students should be ready to present their book and visual aid to small groups. Students should check the assignment sheet to make sure they have met all of the requirements for the project. IXL No skills sets are assigned this week. Vocabulary No units are assigned 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.
O Jesus, You who are the Way, the Truth, and the Life, let me not be deceived by false teaching. Our Lady of Good Studies, pray for me. Amen. Mary, Undoer of Knots,
