English 10 Honors--11/1/2017 & 11/2/2017

Jump Off
--Pick up the first part of the "'The Masque of the Red Death' Assessment" from the front table.  Complete this part of the assessment quietly and independently back at your desk.  When you finish with this part, turn it in at the front and pick up the next part.  Continue in this manner until you have completed the assessment.  (I'll be honest--I have no idea how long it will take you to finish the entire assessment.)  I'll give you as much time as you need today, though.  Good luck!
--When you finish the last part of the assessment, come up to the front table and...
  • place your assessment in the black basket
  • take out something to work on for the remainder of the class block (e.g., Membean training on your electronic device, drafting of your short story, etc.).
HW (Practice/Take-Home Assessment)
--Complete a total of 45 minutes of Membean training as directed before 11:59 PM on Thursday, 11/2.  If you fail to appropriately train between now and the administration of Vocabulary Quiz #3, you will not be permitted to take the quiz (see the "Membean Routine" document).
Writing
--Move forward in the short story drafting process.  The final draft of this writing assignment is tentatively due on Tuesday, 11/7 (ACE)/Wednesday, 11/8 (BDF), which is just under one week away!  My classroom is open after school for any individuals looking to "workshop" together.
--The due date for submitting a revised Thematic Writing Assignment—Partner Interviews essay for the Cumulative Writing Portfolio is Thursday, 11/16 (ACE)/Friday, 11/17 (BDF) (just over two weeks from today)YOU MUST schedule a meeting with me to go over your revisions; simply handing in the revisions is unacceptable as per the protocol.  When time permits, meetings can/will occur during class time.
Miscellaneous
--Read your free reading book for at least 15 minutes between now and next class. ALWAYS BRING YOUR FREE READING BOOK TO CLASS.  You have up until early-December to finish your book.
