As class started today, the familiar "Hello Class!" was not heard (gasp!).
Mrs. Smith was tired, and had lost her voice, so we were greeted by a simple wave of the hand.
Of course, we still responded with the enthusiastic "Hello Smith!" and the jam-packed class had blasted-off!
We started out by turning in our homework, SAT 8 exercises and our new and improved essay redoes.
Next, we began taking the first of our three quizzes for the day, the SAT 8 quiz, which we worked on alone.
Then, we took both the Scene 1 and Scene 2 quizzes from our new piece of literature, Inherit the Wind. For this section, we could work with a partner, or a group of three.
After we conquered these quizzes, it was back to our seats to work on our next Reality Check.
Here are the questions we answered...
-How’s it going? Really, how’s it going?
-What’s one thing that is going well for you? Tell me about it.
-What’s one thing that is really challenging for you? Tell me about it.
-How can I help?
-What’s one thing that is going well for you? Tell me about it.
-What’s one thing that is really challenging for you? Tell me about it.
-How can I help?
If you missed class, please bring these in on Monday to turn in to Mrs. Smith.
Mrs. Smith also gave us a tip sheet to help with writing our This I Believe essays.
The link to the sheet can be found on Smith's website, under the This I Believe section.
For more help, you can also visit the This I Believe official website.
On Monday, we will continue to read Inherit the Wind!
Homework: This I Believe Essays are due on Wednesday, November 9.
SAT 9 exercises are due Friday, November 11.
Finally, here are some fun facts about this day in history...
- In 1842, Abraham Lincoln married his wife, Mary Todd
- In 1922, the entrance to King Tut's tomb was located
- In 2008, Barack Obama won the presidential election, becoming the first African-American President of the United States
HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND!!!
