Week of December 9, 2013

Reading/Writing: This week students will begin the "Cinderella" project.  I have tracked down thirty different cultural versions of "Cinderella". They will be required to read five different versions and write down information on a variety of graphic organizers.  Once they have finished with the reading, they will write a compare/contrast essay.  This project will take the full two weeks until Christmas break.  The final copy of the essay is due on December 20th.

There will be no homework assigned for reading or writing during this time.

English: Students took a test on irregular verbs this morning.  Those students who do not earn a passing grade will have to fix the test for homework.  Fixes will be due on Wednesday.
    There will be no additional English homework this week.
