Please be advised that I have cancelled the SAT Vocabulary Quiz for Friday.

Schedule for the Week of 22 October

NOTE: Since not all classes will meet on Friday, we will NOT have our weekly SAT Vocabulary Quiz. Sorry, to disappoint you.

Please return The Crucible on Monday, 22 October and on Tuesday, 23 October.

We will work on "Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God". A sermon introduced in all American Literature classes throughout the USA. You will certainly read/listen to it again in an American Literature class in college. The subsequent assignment will involve a small group presentation to the whole-class-all group members will participate.

Our next reading selection: TBA

Dear Parents: On Thursday, your child will receive a report cart at the end of B-Band. Please be advised that the "letter-grade" indicated will not reflect an accurate "grade" since grades were not "rounded-up" to the nearest whole-grade. However, if you visit the school's on line-grading report (jupitergrades.com) you will discover your child's "actual" numerical grade for the first-marking period. This numerical grade WILL be averaged with the grade your child earns for the second-marking period. If you do not have your OWN password (not your child's), please contact the LMGHS Parent Coordinator. When we meet this week, I will give you a print-out for grades and assignments your child completed this marking-period.

Schedule for Week of 15 October:
Just relax...it is two days of testing and anxiety!

A Reminder: PSAT (Wednesday, 17 October)-Bring sharpened pencils-LMGHS will NOT supply you with one!

Monday, 15 October: Seminar Discussion of The Crucible (Preparation for the essay test on Tuesday)

Tuesday, 16 October: The Crucible Essay Test-you may use the text only! Please review the following power-points (videos) prior to Tuesday: (all three of them)

By now, you are familiar with Diedrich's "24 Hour Rule"...BUT he actually has a "48 Hour Rule." If you are absent for a test/quiz/class activity, you have TWO school days to make-up the assessment during 37 1/2 minutes. For example, if you were absent for the SAT Vocabulary: List 4 Quiz on Friday, 5 October, you must make it up by the end of the school day on Tuesday, 9 October.
