Last Week Before Holiday Is BUSY
Because of how short this quarter is (only 7 weeks) and the fact that Winter Break is NOT mid-term break this year, we have a lot to get accomplished between now and when the semester ends in mid-January. Here's the schedule for you.
Monday December 14th -- Have The Great Gatsby completed. Be prepared to discuss.
Tuesday December 15th -- The Great Gatsby discussion.
Wednesday December 16th -- Early Release. The Great Gatsby wrap up.
Thursday December 17th -- The Great Gatsby Test. The Great Gatsby Essay of Choice Due.
Friday December 18th -- Winter Wonderland
Winter Break -- Read Endurance: Shakleton's Incredible Voyage by Alfred Lansing. See below for a link from Amazon.com or stop by the South Tampa Barnes and Noble to purchase. You must aquire this book on your own. Put it on your Christmas List. Additionally, you must complete the worksheets I give you on Thursday. There will be a reading quiz when you return to school on Monday, January 4th and the worksheets will be due at that time as well.
I hope you enjoy your Winter Holidays. I know you will enjoy this great adventure story.
