Week 14

This week all classes presented their speeches. I love hearing about someone they think is a hero! we've had a wide range of heroes from family members to Helen Keller and Mother Teresa. They are getting better at speaking up and finding interesting hooks to start their speeches.

All classes also finished reading The Odyssey this week. In conjunction with this reading, classes have had reading quizzes and turned in Analysis/Vocab Questions from their textbooks. We covered the Hero's Journey and students took notes that will help them on their final exam/essay. (Helpful Video)

Lastly, students were given their vocab list for term 2. There will be a test on these words in class on Dec 9 & 10.
