The Home Stretch!
June 16th Weekly Schedule
for
9th Grade

Monday, June 16th - Friday, June 20th:

1st, 2nd and 5th Periods:

Each day this week we will read the perks of being a wallflower and write a reflection - which must be at least one half page in length. Choose one or more events in the section we have read and comment on it. The comment may be positive or negative, personal or not; however, the opinions must be well written, in appropriate language and supported by what you have read in the book. You should also write in the reflection any words which you are not familiar. I am predicting we will be finished by Friday which means that you will turn in your perks of being a wallflower on that date.


Friday, June 20th:

Your notebook and your perks of being a wallflower are due today.

The notebook is due at the beginning of the class; please do not plan to use Friday to put your notebook together. Do that during the evenings prior to Friday.

As soon as we finish the novel - I hope by Friday - we will begin working on the final assessment of the semester which is literary analysis. The assessment will include reading two selections - one is a short story, the other a play - and writing a well constructed five paragraph essay on the theme of the selections.

We will then take a multiple choice test which will cover grammar, vocabulary and reading comprehension.

Friday (June 20th) and Monday (June 23rd) will be devoted to the assessment. The final will be used to finish up the essay.
