If this is your first visit, welcome to the homework blog! I haven't been using this site much so far this year, but am going to make it a renewed priority moving forward.
ALL SOPHOMORES
Your shopweek homework is to complete the graphic organizer for your five-paragraph essay on To Kill a Mockingbird.
Remember, you don't need to write complete sentences in those squares. We will tackle that when we transiition to the first draft. Just think about the best way to organize your paragraph topics and the evidence. Also, tackling that introduction is mandatory! Here is the structure for the POINT SENTENCE, in case you've forgotten:
(the essay topic) IS IMPORTANT BECAUSE IT SHOWS/PROVES/EXPLAINS (the author's overall point).
Give it your best shot and we'll work on it together next week.
Gobble, gobble!!

Welcome Back Sophomores!
It has been so nice to get to know you so far this year. As sophomores, you have a big year ahead and a lot to juggle. This website will help you keep track of your work for English class and will help keep communication open between your parents and me. Please share this site with them so we can all stay on the same page.
Here is what this week looks like...
MONDAY
All: We will take some quick notes on institutional racism in the U.S. Most importantly, we need to understand what a long history it is and the difference between slavery and segregation. I will be distributing copies of To Kill a Mockingbird and we will start reading together.
HW: Write a 2 to 3 paragraph description of "home" (whatever that means to you) when you were six years old. If you need inspiration, see pages 5 to 6 of TKAM for Scout's recollections.
TUESDAY
All: PICTURE DAY! Once we are finished having our photos taken, we will continue reading chapters one and two of TKAM.
HW: Reading Comprehension questions for chapters one and two. Answer questions with complete sentences in your notebook.
