Half way there

This week you received your progress reports and know where you stand in this class (for the most part). I still have the Family Tree Projects to enter, but by next week they should be graded.
If you are having difficulty with your Literary Analysis paper or would like to see if you are on the right track go to the following website that breaks down the process:

If you are concerned about your grade here are some upcoming grades that could boost your grade up or bring you down if you are not careful:

1. Four more SAT Questions of the Day
2. SAT Words E-H Quiz (September 29 or 30)
3. Summer Reading Projects (2 required)
4. Literary Analysis Essay
5. Corrido poem for Hispanic Heritage Month
6. Colonial Newspaper Project (due Oct. 14 or 15)
7. Classwork

Remember that the Summer Reading books and projects can be found on the hghs.dadeschools.net site on the home page.

For the Colonial Newspaper Project here is a list of potential movies you can review:
Dances with Wolves
Last of the Mohicans
Geronimo
Crazy Horse and Custer
Blazing Saddles
Dreamkeeper
Into the West
Little Big Man
The New World
Smoke Signals

*Remember there is no school on Monday because it is a teacher work day.
