Hi, We are beginning the second semester. Hard to believe half of our school is complete. The focus for the 3rd quarter in English I will be on reading strategies to increase comprehension. We will read a variety of short text and use them to practice what we have learned about predicting, questioning, inferring and more. In A.P. Language we will be moving on to argument. Each weeks students will analyze an argument in terms of the appeals and biases. The 3rd quarter is the "work horse" of the school year--a time when we put into practice some of the strategies and concepts we learned during the first semester. As always, I am available after school on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays for tutoring or extra help. Students should let me know a day ahead that they will come after school. If you did not get your log-in letter for Profress Book or you are having difficulties logging in contact Mr. Reussow, the technology coordinator, at CCHS. Best, Lee Ann Spillane P.S.: I need your email addresses for our classroom news-blasts. Please complete the student profile by clicking here. If you are a parent or guardian of one of my students, please complete this form. |
