Mr. Hawley - Burlington School Daily English Lessons

Tuesday - January 8, 2013

We are still going a little slower and wrapping things up for the semester.  Don't expect a lot of homework this week.  Lots of reading and class discussions, and a focus on getting in late work!

7th Grade:  Read from page 340 - 347 in the text book.  Write a short response to what you think the theme of the story "Hearts and Hands" is.  Be careful.  You really have to read closely to figure out what is going on in this story. 

8th Grade:  Begin reading Tell Tale Heart after looking at examples of style in Art.  Fascinating pictures.  Class discussion about style across genres, authors, themes, etc.

10th Grade:  Read the story on page 1060 "Sigurd the Dragon Slayer" 
Continue Greek Presentations.  One more day and we will be finished with these. 

History:  Lab day for History Projects.  You should have a definite project topic, presentation method, and partners in mind now!  Research should be nearing completion.
