Mrs. D's English stuff

Exciting things are happening now that we are getting 'down to business'! Students received a spelling list of commonly misspelled words. They will have a quiz on that list on Sept. 12. Check with your students to see if they are studying. We are beginning a new unit with all classes - Flowers for Algernon. Students have been given opportunities in class to find out what type of personality they have, how they handle frustrating situations and they have been 'playing' games. Check with them to find out more about these activities. Periods 2-3 have a paper on Watson's Go to Birmingham due on Monday, Sept. 10. We will be on Flowers for Algernon for about two weeks. All of the reading will be done in class, but there will be some assignments connected with this reading. I will keep everyone posted as to when they are due. Contact me at the school if you have questions.
