End of the Nine Weeks

Dear students,
This weekend I would like to ask you to log onto your student portals and check your grades in my class. If there are any grades missing or you think there is an error please write them down and bring them to class. Remember this coming week is the end of the nine weeks and I would like to have grades done before Friday.
I still have to put in the Summer Reading Quizzes for everyone as well as this weeks Reading Plus and the Benjamin Franklin card grades. Otherwise all your grades should be in.

Make sure to complete your two sessions of Reading Plus and if you have not sent me your SAT question for this week you have until midnight Friday. **Refer to the October 13th post if you need to get into the Reading Plus website.

Benjamin Franklin cards are due Monday or Tuesday (based on your period). If you were not able to pick up paper that was made in Ms. Nadel's room you can go ahead and make the card with regular paper or construction paper.

This coming week you will working on your Edgar A. Poe group projects. I am looking forward to seeing your creativity and how you bring the stories to life.
Periods 1,3,5 will present on Thursday, October 27th and
Periods 2,4,6 will present on October 31st.
Here is the link for the stories that are not in our literature book:
