Happy snow day everyone! I hope you are enjoying your time away from school. Below is a letter that you should read with important information about our class and how it will be adjusted next week due to the snow days. If you have any questions, feel free to email me, and I'll get back to you as soon as I see it. I'll check a couple of times over the next couple of days. I have one additional adjustment that isn't on the letter specifically for 4th period: Because of the early release, we did not get to do our talking day for A Raisin in the Sun. Because of the tight schedule, we are not going to get to do it. I'm sure some of you are perfectly okay with that. I'm sorry we won't get to properly finish up with the play, but there just isn't time for it at this point with the unexpected days off. Enjoy your extra-long weekend and try to use some of it wisely and get some work done! :)
I've had a couple of students ask what the prompt was for the SPES on "The Most Dangerous Game." It is below.
SPES: Pick one of the following SPES paragraph prompts and write your paragraph on a separate sheet of paper. Option 1: How does Connell utilize language to impact the text (there’s a lot of avenues you can go here, so be sure to make your claim specific)?
