updates for all the traveling students

It seems as if a lot of people have been out of class this week because of various school activities. I hope that everyone is doing well (especially DECA, Damn Yankees, and Kickline nationals)! Here is what you've been missing in English class.

9th Grade: We just started a poetry unit that includes writing an original poem modeled after George Ella Lyon's "Where I'm From." Today in class we started our mini-author study on Edgar Allan Poe, reading his biography and the poem Annabel Lee.

10th Grade: So far we've read up to the end of Act IV in Julius Caesar. Expect another short test when the play is completed. Tonight's homework was to complete study guide questions on page 777 of the text: 2-6, 8.
