Mrs. Reese's Webpage English 9/The Learning Center This year you will read many memorable literature selections, improve your writing skills, and become a better reader and thinker. This week (5/13- 5/17): (1) Vocabulary Ch. 23 this week - exercises due Thursday; Quiz Friday. (2) Reading Chapters 3 and 4 - Of Mice and Men by John Steinbeck Coming up next week: Finish reading Of Mice and Men - Chapters 5 and 6. Homework: should be expected about 3 nights a week and should take 15-20 minutes on average. Longer assignment will usually have extended due dates so students can plan accordingly. Homework should be done with thought and care and will often be a check of understanding of what was taught in class, or a pre-thinking exercise that will be used in class the following day. Some assignments may simply be checked for completeness; others may be collected and graded. Assignments are always posted and announced/explained in class. Vocabulary and spelling are a regular part of our work. A new list of 10 words is introduced each Monday. The workbook exercises are due on Thursday that week, with a spelling and definition asessment on Friday. Students should review the list each night during the week to prepare. Please contact me at jreese@hamburgschools.org with any questions or concerns. I am looking forward to a great year! Mrs. Reese |
