Just wanted to give a heads up that we will have a POP quiz when we get about chapters 8-15. (Psst...I might post some questions on hte blog before our return!) I will also be working on getting a "blog contribution evaluation" to everyone. Some people are posting volumes and really thinking about the questions and some people are....just posting!
Hope everyone is enjoying break. I have been grading and planning today and just wanted to let you know that my personal goal is to have everything fresh and new and up to date on Edline, so just bear with me and check it on New Years Day!
A look ahead at 2008:
You will be creating 1-3 group blogs before the end of the school year. I am going to let you feel the excitement that I do when I post to the blog!
We will wrap up of TKaM, watch the film, watch Spitfire Grill to compare to the novel.
We will have a super short poetry unit and watch my all time favorite movie (and the reason I became a teacher) Dead Poets Society.
We will have a research project on global warming and natural disasters. This will correlate with our next novel that focuses on the survival of a small Florida town with limited resources.
The Odyssey! The blood! The guts! The love story!
And we will end the year with Romeo and Juliet.....the best love story ever told....
Wow! I can't wait to get back to school now (okay, maybe I am fibbing a little bit!)
Hope you are all sleeping in, reading a ton and checking out some good movies over break. I already saw I am Legend and am off to see The Kite Runner tomorrow and then maybe Charlie Wilson's War on Saturday or The Great Debaters? Who can decide!
Miss Holmes :)
