I am currently working on a template to make this an easier task to perform
each week. I hope to have this up and running by early the week of August
25. Here is a short description of what we are studying and doing in each
of my classes. To view the curriculum standards for English III and IV,
please go to the State of Tennessee Education site listed under my links
page. We also perform 3 minutes of physical exercise in each class period
as required by the State of Tennessee.
Acclerated English IV: We are reading and discussing Homer's "The
Odyssey." As of Monday, August 25, students should have Books 1-10 read.
They will hand in the questions for these Books for a daily grade. We had a
test over the literary terms on Friday, August 22.
English IV: We have studied Anglo-Saxon Period. A test was given over
these notes. Because the students did not do well overall, a second test
was given. The highest score of the two grades will be counted. The week of
August 19, we began reading "Beowulf" and will continue to read until the
week after Labor Day. A test will be given over this reading selection upon
completion.
Acclerated English III: We started our study of American literature with
Indian myths. A quiz was given over this material and a group project
assigned. We are currently reading "Of Plymouth Plantation." A open
book/note test will be given on Friday, August 22. Next week we will
read "A Narrative of Her Captivity" and "Sinners in the Hands of An Angry
God." A reading check will be given at the completion of these reading
selections.
English III: We began our study of American literature with Indian myths.
A quiz was given over this material and a group project assigned. We are
currently reading "Of Plymouth Plantation." Next week we will read "Sinners
in the Hands of an Angry God" and begin reading the play "The Crucible."
