Week of tests

This shortened week is going to include tests in two of my classes.

Modern Media finished their Internet search worksheets on Tuesday. Wednesday we will be reviewing and wrapping the unit up and Thursday is our test over the Internet. This test will be completely based on notes and discussions from class. On Friday there is a media summary article due in which students need to find a media relevant article and write a three paragraph response. The first paragraph should be a summary of the article; the second, an explanation of why this topic is of interest; the third, predictions, evaluations, opinions about the topic discussed.

Creative Writing is currently wading through a variety of different stories in preparation for the writing of their short stories. We will be talking about characters and using point of view effectively in their stories.

English 10 will have a test on Wednesday over plot and setting as well as the four stories that we have read in class: "The Pedestrian", by Ray Bradbury; "Contents of the Dead Man's Pocket", by Jack Finney; "The Rockpile", by James Baldwin; and "The Love Letter", also by Jack Finney. On Friday we will also have a vocabulary quiz over the following words.

Chronic

Good Day to you and good luck this week.
