Tuesday, October 6th -- Day Two
Period One -- ELA 10
1. We spent the period in the library researching for our assignments on the "unknown".
There has been no due date set for this assignment as of yet.
Period Two -- History 20
Seeing as several students needed more time to write their math exam, this was used as an ELA period in which students were asked to simply finish reading Part One of To Kill a Mockingbird. There will be an exam on Part One of the novel tomorrow.
Period Three/Four -- ELA 9
1. Students spent the first fifteen minutes reading silently.
2. They were given the remainder to the period to work on their self portrait that is to go with their "I am..." poem

Period Five -- ELA 20
1. This period was spent as a review for what needs to be known for tomorrows TKAM exam. As I said today, inability to pass this exam will be a result of lack of effort or inability to keep up to task with assigned readings as it is by no means a difficult exam.
Period Six -- LA 6
1. Spelling Exam # 4
Period Seven -- ELA 20
1. Turned this into History to make up for the lost class this morning. Students were given the option of reading over History for the open book exam to be given tomorrow, or ELA for the To Kill a Mockinbird exam also tomorrow.
