Reading!!!
Hello everyone!
For blocks 1&4, we are reading in class today. You should all have read through chapter 16 for tomorrow. Most likely, we will get all of this done in class.
Remember to be keeping up with your vocabulary, themes, and symbolism.
Have a great day!

Hey there seniors…
Make sure you are keeping up with reading assignments and chapters. As of tomorrow (10/22) you should have been assigned a symbol, chosen a theme and a character, have at least five quotes from the novel with chapter/page numbers, and have made up your mind to pace your individual vocabulary requirements. This is all work that will lead you to the summative project grade…otherwise, it is objective test knowledge. Please turn in a project on 10/31 or take the test.
Thank you to all of the amazing students who focus, listen when you would rather talk, create, invent, pay close attention to detail, prepare, arrive on time, ask questions, engage, give constructive feedback, participate, try without being asked to, try despite the hardships, and give 100% even when the reserve switch is on. Effort and attitude are more than half of the equation to achieving what you want.
A special thanks to my students who have full-on embraced a student teacher who is giving all of his energy to prepare and feed a hungry and challenging youth. You guys rock! Spence Camp is going to make an amazing molder of minds-keep giving him your best!
Keep reading….people will want a subscription to you.
