ENGLISH 7

Handed in vocabulary work. Completed vocabulary quiz on last set. It was your choice!
Returned a few other papers you might want for portfolio.

Discussed more of The Giver! Listened to last chapter of The Giver. Wrote: Where are they going now? What happens? Support your answer. Say why. There are no wrong answers on this one.

On Thursday, you will have a unit test on the book. It will be short answer and multiple choice. The following week, you will turn in your final project, the details of which will be handed out next week.

Monday will be mostly a work day to finish up on portfolios, so do be sure to bring your material to work on it!

HW: Tues: Portfolio with parent signature on essay
Thurs: Final test on The Giver

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!
