No assigned questions over your long weekend, but you should be reviewing your terms.  Go over the selected responses you have had so far to ensure that you recognize some of the ones that we covered in this unit.  YOU WILL HAVE A TEST ON THURSDAY OF NEXT WEEK.  It will start at recess, so if you feel that you may need some extra time COME EARLY.  Pathway 2, students may stay during lunch to finish, so bring something to eat.  The test will consist of an unseen piece with questions. 

Complete questions 1, 2, and 3 on the song, "The Sound of a Gun" on page 66  of the text Echoes.  Students have read and listened to the song.  We have also discussed the answer for each question in class.  They are to be handed in at the beginning of tomorrow's class.

Any students who missed Monday's class need to get the questions from last week's assignment in also; these are the four questions on the hand-out with reference to "In Goya's Greatest Scenes we seem to see". 

Students need to be reviewing their terms package also.

Students who were absent today need to hand in the questions 2, 3, and 4 on the poem "In Goya's Greatest scenese we seem to  see" for tomorrow's class.  DO NOT FORGET TO STUDY THE NEXT 5 TERMS ON HIS LIST.

Students have both novels that we will be completing this term.  Ensure that you continue to read them.  The independant novel, The Hobbit, is due Dec 12.  The assignment will be hand out later.  The class study novel, THe Lord of the Flies, has to be read by Nov 1.  Students should also be studying their terms, which everyone has.  They should all be placed at the back of their binder and be carried to class each day.  You also have to remember to bring a novel for silent reading each day.

Students' questions on "The Baker" have been graded and returned.  For homework this evening, you need to complete #1 on the handout in reference to the poem, "In Goya's greatest scenes we seem to see..." for tomorrow's class.

Students should have their questions handed in on "the Baker."  They will be graded and handed back during the next class.  Students who were absent today need to read the poem on page 55-56.

Complete questions 1 and 2 for homework on the poem, "The Baker."  The questions are:
1.What point of view is used in the poem?  Explain the effectiveness of using this point of view.
2. Identify one powerful image from each stanza in the poem.  Explain their meaning and their impact on the reader.
******Remember to bring both texts, Echoes and The Hobbit for class. 

Students are expected to have a binder and loose leaf for class.  Students have started reading the Independant Novel, The Hobbit, in class.  Some students have it signed out already and those who have not will be getting it by the end of the week.  The Independant Novel Study is due in December and the assignment will be given out by late October.  We are beginning each class with a 10 minute silent reading period, so students have to remember their novels.  Those who have their Echoes Text signed out need to remember it for next class.
