Week of September 25, 2017
12th Academic English
This week we will continue our study of Beowulf. We will discuss the final sections of this epic poem and focus not only on events in the poem but on the characteristics of Beowulf that seem to embody qualities and values that are important to Anglo-Saxon culture.  On Thursday you will take vocabulary quiz 2, will turn in reading response 2 and will work on vocabulary list 3.

11th Academic English
This week we will continue our work with Sentence Analysis.  We will check your answers to the worksheets you completed in class last week and will review for a test on Sentence Analysis.  That test will be scheduled for either Friday or Monday, depending on our worksheet review.  On Thursday you will take vocabulary quiz 2, will turn in reading response 2 and will work on vocabulary list 3.

SAT Prep
This week we will spend a few days working with Chapter 17.  We will look at strategies to determine and author's point of view, to understand word/phrase choices, to distinguish between claims and counterclaims and to evaluate support evidence given in reading passages.  Later in the week you will work on a sample SAT test.
