Throughout the second quarter (Mondays and Tuesdays) we will be focusing on
the Dark and Stormy Night: Unit Two from our textbook. Students will be asked
to read the short stories and answer comprehension questions on the stories.
We will also be working from our PSSA Coachbooks (Wednesdays). During the
remainder of the week, the class will be reading Freak the Mighty, written by
Rodman Philbrick (Thursdays and Fridays). Quizzes and tests on all material
will be given throughout the quarter. Throughout each of the four quarters,
the students are responsible for maintaining their class binder for a final
grade at the end of each quarter.
*** Students are encouraged to hand in any late work for a grade of a 70.
They have up until the end of the current quarter to do so.
