Presentations

MAY

Students will present final group projects that they have been working on since the beginning of the semester.

Presentations should present creativity, hard work, and understanding assigned at the beginning of the semester. Students should be able to answer questions about theme, character, symbolism, plot, and setting on the final through the information gained from these presentations.

Poetry Club

This month the Poetry Club will finalize their edition for parents and friends to buy. The copy of Lightening Thought will be available in my classroom (Room 25) or in the poetry club meeting room (Room 10). The cost of this publication will be $8 for students and $10 for faculty. If you would like to submit a poem please contact Ms. Hernandez before school, after school in her room or during her prep period.

 

 

Food For Thought

Students will have to write out the outline used for their individual and group presentations. This will be a part of the final exam.

Students also must finish their book analysis by May 16 order to get full points.
