Tuesday, October 5th -- Day Two

Period One: ELA 10
After some silent reading, we talked further about the research assignment and how to properly research. Stressed was the fact that a research paper is not copying and pasting directly from a website, and it was also not done straight from the research stage to the published stage. A rough draft is required. As such, students were informed that prior to any typing of the good copy, a suitable rough draft needs to be done. From there we discussed the questions and activities related to Chapters Three & Four of 'The Chrysalids'. Chapter Five of the novel must be read for tomorrow.

Period Two: History 20
We started with a quick review of both the Schlieffen Plan and the French Counter Plan. What did each involve, how did these plans work out? Why? We then reviewed as a class the factors that all helped to contribute to the failure of the Schlieffen Plan. A handout was then discussed on the ending of mobility and the beginning of stalement on the Western Front. This handout included eight questions that are due for tomorrow.

Period Three/Four: ELA 9
We started by concluding the CAT - 4 Exam. Students were then assigned Lessons #11, 12 and 13 of Language Power. These lessons are to be due for tomorrow. Secondly the concept of an "I Am...." poem was introduced. When they completed the Language Power they were to start drafting their poem which needs to be no less than twenty lines in length. The Langauge Power is due tomorrow, the poem is not.

Period Five: ELA 20
The questions were discussed in relation to the short story "The Rink". The extension activites based on this story were then collected. As Chapters Seven & Eight of "To Kill a Mockingbird" were to be read for today, questions and activities based on these chapters were assigned for tomorrow.

Period Six: History 30

Period Seven: ELA 20
