For the 9th Grade, you will have a vocabulary test on part one of Fahrenheit 451. Although the test will not be until March, I wanted to use a new tool, Quizlet. This tool will help you learn and also test you.
On the bottom right of the widget you can select flash cards, and have the "Speak It" option pronounce the words for you. Pretty simple stuff. Forget the worksheet here are some questions:pages 3-24There is a limited preview of the book here, but all these can be answered from what was read in class.
10th Grade- Your study guide for the To Kill a Mockingbird test, remember it is Monday 2/27. And Tuesday you must have your topic ready to research!
The T-Shirt Project template- Decorate a t-Shirt that would be worn by a character from To Kill a Mockingbird.
Hey kids, completely non-work related post. The cupcakes to raise money for the rest of the Fahrenheit 451 collection are done. Here are the pictures to prove it. Hi Students, there is something for both grade levels in this post. First, my 9th Graders, we began Fahrenheit today and already began to see that fire plays a key roll in the movie. Extra credit: How is fire first described in the book, and how does it compare with the description below? Post your answer in the comments section. 10th Graders, a slight change to the HW: The statement "Our courts are great levelers, in our courts, all men are created equal?" Do you believe this to be true? How do you believe this situation would be handled in the current time period? Re-read pages 193-194, according to Tom's testimony who is really responsible for the crimes against Mayella? This part is left out of the court scene. 9th Grade: Read the book burning packet and answer the questions on the back for homework.
10th Grade: Super simple, read the first 5 pages of chapter 19 in To Kill a Mockingbird. Be sure to pay attention to Scout's perceptions as Tom Robinson is questioned. 9th Grade: Answer the following questions regarding Antigone. Period H, you will not be able to answer question 6, as we have not yet finished the play. Here is a video of Antigone's final speech for anyone who would like to watch. 10th Grade: Active and Passive voices. Please finish the worksheet that I assigned you for homework. The file is below if you misplaced yours. Also, remember there will be reading questions on chapter 18 of To Kill a Mockingbird tomorrow as a "Do Now"
I also thought it would be useful to have a video reviewing what we learned in class. Remember, it is easier to decipher the active versus the passive voice if you locate the "agent" first. 9th Grade: While reading Antigone we are going to focus on developing our vocabulary. The homework tonight is straight from your text on page 542. If you forgot your text I embedded a picture of it below. 9th Grade: All you need to do tonight is finish editing your intro paragraph if you have not already done so and plug in the supporting details to the paragraph graphic organizer with your interpretation. I embedded the video I used in class if you need help with the Intro paragraph. 10th Grade: Your task is simple, just define and use the following vocabulary words in a sentence. 1. Habiliments 2. Rotogravure 3. Ecclesiastical 4. Impedimenta 5. "The Garden of Gethsemane" -Just tell me what this is and why it would be found on a cardboard fan in a church. 6. Nimble (witted) 7. Myopic 8. Enarmored- NOT Enamored. This is not easy to find. Google it with "To Kill A Mockingbird" and you will find the answer. For the 9th Grade: Create your introduction paragraph Here are the videos we used in class. Tonight's homework is to create your and introductory paragraph and thesis statement . It may help to first focus on the thesis statement and work backwards from there. This movie will help guide you in developing your introduction. Remember, the first sentence does not need to discuss the thesis. The first sentence can be very broad and narrow to the topics in subsequent sentences. 10th grade homework questions:1. What is different about Maycomb this summer for Scout? Why is she miserable for 2 days?
2. Where does Calpurnia take Scout and Jem on Sunday? Be specific. What about this experience made her uncomfortable? 3. What does Reverend Sykes do when he realizes that the congregation has failed to collect ten dollars? Why is this important to the story? 4. How is Reverend Sykes’ preaching style different than that of Scout and Jem’s Pastor? 5. Why is Tom Robinson in jail? 6. Name two things the children learn about Calpurnia on their walk home. |
