I was gone today to the District Spelling Bee, but here are the lesson plans I left.
1st Period – Creative Writing
• These students are working on a persuasive paper for my class that is due on Friday. I have arranged to have them go work in the library. The essay should be a minimum 2-4 pages typed, double spaced, with citations and a works cited page. I don’t care what they write about, as long as it’s persuasive in nature. Have them pick a position and argue for or against it. We have been working on this since Monday, but I’ve only had one student in class this week so far.
• Have them turn in their journals from week 6. They don’t have weekly vocab.
2nd Period – Honors English
• These 4 are working on a religious philosophers essay. They have the instructions and should be well on their way to completing it. Once again, I have arranged for them to be able to work in the Library this period so they can research/type.
3rd Period (8th grade) and 4th Period (7th grade)
• Mrs. Henley will be running these classes today. Sit back and enjoy, or help her out as needed. You will need to get them started in 3rd period till Mrs. Henley gets there, which is usually about 5 minutes after class starts. Have them pull out their vocab and spelling words and study them with a partner.
• After they finish studying, they need to turn in their vocab/spelling worksheet – “week 6” and the journal entry from Monday – also called “Journal week 6” about a positive father memory. They know the routine.
• If I can manage to get them graded tonight, also pass back the rough drafts to my 3rd period students. If not, they’ll get them on Thursday and have an extra day to get the final version turned in.
*Update - 3rd Period* I didn't get the papers passed back today, so the final won't be due until Monday now.
Also, Mrs. Henley assigned Page 168 Exercises 2 & 3 from the Grammar textbooks for homework for 3rd Period.
*Update - 4th Period* They studied pages 107; 113 and were given worksheet #48 & 52 for homework. Copies of this can be found in the homework box or on the table in front of the box.
5th Period – Regular English
• Take them down to the Library. These guys are doing the same project as my honors kids are right now. If Carlin or Stormy need helping knowing what to do, have them check the blog for instructions and the names that have already been selected.
• Vocab and Journals for week 6 are due today.
6th Period – 10th Grade
• Read through the story “To Build a Fire” with the class by Jack London. If you finish early, discuss the man vs. nature idea in this story. You could tie it in with the recent nasty weather we’ve been having. If they are squirrely, or have a lot of time still remaining, have them write a 1 page essay on “respecting nature” which will be due on Thursday when I return.
• They also need to turn in the vocab and journals from week 6.
