I hope you are having a fabulous week!

I wanted to give you a list of your assignments this week to make sure we are all on the same page:

1. Print out your grades on engrade and have your parent sign somewhere on the page that they saw your average.
Thanks! :)

2. No VOCAB this week. Take a break :)

3. Complete "The Old Man and the Sea" quiz by clicking here and submitting the answers online. Do not use help form anything for your answers please. Complete the quiz with integrity.

4. Write a five-paragraph essay (1st Draft) discussing three major themes in the novella "Old Man and the Sea."

       -start with prewriting

       -we will have student/teacher conferences with your first draft in class so make sure you have it with you!

       -remember to use the peer edit sheet you have as a tool.

       -don't forget to properly punctuate quotations in the following way:

     " This is an example of a quote from the novella" (p. 45).
