- Two Ender's games today. Lots of movement in the standings board. Check it out below.
- Finish your letter to the admiral tonight. It's due by 11:59. Half credit if it's late. You only need five paragraphs, as usual, so hopefully that isn't too taxing for any of you. :-)
- There was no reading in Ender's Game tonight. The letter assignment is the only homework.
Tuesday, 5/7/24
- Today was all about chapter 7 in Ender's Game - "Salamander". We read the first half in class together and then the second half you'll read on your own. That starts at the break on page 84. The assignment that goes along with that reading is another edition of close reading strategies. Those strats are linked to the assignment. Be sure to read the assignment directions carefully! I put two important directions in ALL CAPS so that you knew they were REALLY IMPORTANT. Be sure to read them and execute them faithfully. That assignment is due tonight by 11:59 PM.
- While you're doing the reading, you can listen to the chapter as well. THIS audiobook is quite good. The dude has a great reading voice. Fast forward to 19:50 to pick up right where we left off in class.
- Hey, a quick reminder - all you people in spring sports, even sports not associated with our school, your practices and games are not a legitimate excuse to turn stuff in late. Late is late and that stuff will be taxed with a penalty. School is your job. Do your job FIRST, and then play later. Trust me - you have PLENTY of time in your days. I see what you all do during study hall and team support...:::cough, cough, absolutely nothing, cough, cough:::... Get those assignments turned in, children!
