Friday, August 26

Hi. Today, Period 2 had to go to a freshman class meeting and didn't have class, but for everyone else, what we did was took a pretest on literary concepts to gauge how much the students know about literature. Some important things to know:
-Your Weekly Reading Grade will begin next week. This is made up of your preparation (bringing a book to class every day) and participation (reading in class from that book and reading from it for 20 minutes a night at home). Over the course of the trimester, this really adds up.
-Your friendly letter about your history as a reader is due on Monday in class. Today we talked about how your audience and your purpose determine everything you do as a writer, so keep these two ideas in mind as you craft your letter.
-Your summer reading assignment is due September 6.
Have a great weekend.
Prediction: Brighton 28, Fremont 3.
