This first week has already gotten a little disjointed.
We started the week with Lesson 4 Vocabulary packet. Ask me for one. And yes, you must complete the writing portion.
We also watched an interactive website. Just google "salem witch trials interactive" and go to the one for National Geographic. It's really cool. Try one choice for your confession and then go back to make the other choice. It will make sense when you get there. Also this week, we visited with the counselors about your 4 year plan. I know you do it every year but just think, next year you'll actually be in the 4th year!
The main assignment for the week is a TAKS composition:
Write an essay about a decision you have made that affected others.
Make it at least 2 pages but no more than 3 pages, fronts only. You may use no more than five (5) "Be" verbs! Turn this in by Friday, October 10.
We'll get started reading The Crucible next week. You might look over the play in the book and see if you like a certain character. Everyone will get a chance to read.
