Schedule for Week of 2 December:
SAT Vocabulary Quiz: List 10 (SEVEN words from List 10 and THREE words from List 9) on Thursday, 5 December.
Monday, 2 December (F Band): Socratic Seminar-come prepared with a written response(informal) to a question or two from the handout distributed last week to use as a guide... E Band will do the same on Tuesday, 3 December...
Tuesday, 3 December (F Band): The Great Gatsby Essay Test. Please be advised that you are NOT going to respond to a "critical lens".
Wednesday, 4 December (E Band): Your turn for the Essay Test on The Great Gatsby. Please note that you will NOT be given the same question as F Band.
Dear Parents: I regret to inform you that the "cheating" on the quizzes continues. (Please read older post where I asked for your assistance.) Since students "share" a table, I change the format/order of the questions -yet, the children are still copying responses (often identical- incorrectly worded responses) from their "table-mate" or from another student sitting nearby.
Inform your child that disciplinary action will take place and a permanent record of this infraction will be noted as specifically stated in the class contracts signed and returned to me and to the school.

Just returned home from a "fabulous" Junior/Soph Performance! Congratulations to all who performed. Diedrich has awarded you an A++ in all categories, but he is not a judge so his evaluation is meaningless. Please keep in mind that he has not picked a "winner" in years. Perhaps, he will be able to hear the cheers from where he resides when Junior/Soph is declared the winner! Senior/Fresh was impressive as well...
PLEASE BE ADVISED:
You will be administered a "QUIZ" for Chapters 7, 8, & 9 on WEDNESDAY, 27 November! (THIRTY short answer questions-same as previous quizzes-simply select any TWENTY and answer accordingly-you will NOT be given a sheet containing the answers.) Maximum Allocated Time: TWENTY Minutes.
Engage in a "close reading" of these chapters. Some of you have NOT been reading the chapters-I have been finding downloads with chapter summaries with the analysis left behind in the classroom. These will NOT help you on your upcoming quiz.
