4 November 2010  Thought for the day:  "Remember, my dears, that no matter how hard you dance, not everyone will clap.  Dance anyway."  --Joan Erickson


Grade 10 CP
Periods 1 & 4
I have not written since October 26th!  We've got some catching up to do...on Monday, 11-1-2010, we began reading The Tragedy of Julius Caesar by Wm. Shakespeare.  Students made journals to record their reading/writing responses.  The expectation is that you will respond to 3 writing prompts for each scene we read.  Even if you read a scene at home, you are responsible for keeping up with your writing logs.  This writing will count as a test grade for the 2nd quarter.


You also have 20 new vocabulary words for which you completed homework assignments.  There will be a quiz on Wednesday, 11-10-2010 (it is a C-day).


Homework due tomorrow, Friday, 11-5-2010>Read Act I scene ii and complete 3 writing prompts in your response logs.
