ENGLISH 8
Fri, Mar 5, 2016
Please take a minute or two to write your reaction to yesterday’s assembly with Calvin Terrell. What you got out of it? How you felt? Just a couple of sentences. Hand in. Thank you.
Papers returned and filed.
A few more stories on rescuers/rescued Monday.


Began watching “Into the Arms of Strangers,” an Oscar-winning documentary  about the Kindertransport, the British rescue operation, which saved the lives of over 10,000 Jewish children from Nazi Germany, Austria, and Czechoslovakia by transporting them via train to England. Lots of real footage from the time about events you read and we talked about in The Book Thief.
Part 8 is due on Tuesday. Part 9 on Thursday.
Use this extra time to read and complete worksheets so you are not backed up next week or the week after. Feel free to finish the book.
HW: Tues: Part 8
Weds: Part 9

About Me

Sebastopol, CA
After many years as a newspaper reporter and writer, a job that I was lucky enough to love, I got my English teaching credential, hoping to pass on to kids how to find their unique voice and clearly communicate what they think and feel. Public school educated in Philadelphia, college in New York City (Barnard College), transferred to and graduated from UC Berkeley in English and received a master's degree in journalism from Columbia University. Yay, my son, my student in 8th grade, is now a Cal alumni, too, a 2017 graduate with a degree in computer science, now working at Google (You Tube) as a product manager. William Faulkner is one of my favorite writers, as well as Anne Lamott, Langston Hughes and many of the nighttime, satirical comedy shows. On my top bookshelf sit Nobel Prize winning writers Toni Morrison and Orhan Pamuk, along with friends who have won Pulitzer Prizes in journalism, who started writing in junior high or in writing groups in Sonoma County. Go public education in California!
