DECEMBER 2ND - DECEMBER 7TH
WEEKLY AGENDA
FOR 9TH GRADE

A link for you: The Odyssey

MONDAY, DECEMBER 3RD:

Good morning artists and scholars!

Some of the fabulous and fun assignments I have been promising you have had to be put on hold because the copy room has been closed. As soon as the copy room is up and running, I promise you I’ll get those assignments to you. I know you can’t wait!

Warm-up: Choosing five of your vocabulary words from pages 23-33 in your vocabulary book, write five sentences using adverbial clauses.

Today we will once more climb aboard the SS Odyssey and voyage to the Isle of Scheria and then back in time to Troy where we will retrace our steps from the time we left the fallen city for what we thought would be a quick and easy sail back to Ithaca.

Today we will try to make it to the isle of Polyphemus, the Cyclops, and then record what we see and do in our captain’s log.


TUESDAY, DECEMBER 4TH:

Shortened day!

Our reading log for the fifth chapter of A NIGHT TO REMEMBER is due today.
Please begin reading the sixth chapter. The reading log for the sixth chapter will be due on Friday, December 7th,
