Please, please, please be in my room by 7:30--Cheryl will be in around 7:45
We really have to get going on these things. I know we are all overwhelmed with things to do right now, but we need to get some main points down.
1. Grade-level literature
2. Portfolio material
3. mid-term assessments--let's not do the lame book one again. Let's find old tasks 1,2,3, and 4. Let's put someone in charge of each now. December will come quickly.
4. Literary terms that will be the main focus per grade level
5. Grade-level vocab lists. (I think I gave out a couple last time? But basically, they come out of the units in the book. I have an SAT list for gr. 11)

Brian and I met to discuss the novels/plays we are planning on covering.
Frankenstein
The Great Gatsby
Macbeth
Taming of the Shrew
Beowulf
Canterbury Tales
This list is not exhaustive, nor are all senior teachers covering all of these works. We will, however, cover at least one or two of these works with our classes and I guess are "reserving" them for senior year.
Thanks!
Yes please refer back to my October 1 post for more details. Anyways I think for grade 10 this year I will do the following major pieces of literature (and I guess I am saying I think they belong in grade 10 to cover):
To Kill A Mockingbird
Twelve Angry Men
A Lesson Before Dying
Night
my plan per grade level is as follows:
Gr. 10-Of Mice and Men, Stuck in Neutral, 12 Angry Men,...not sure what else yet. Another 10th grade play. maybe antigone i guess. i have never done it.
Gr. 11-A Raisin in the Sun, A lesson before dying, possibly the crucible, non-fiction pieces (various on syllabus and not), possibly catcher in the rye,
Also,. another idea I have is using the AP syllabus unit themes per grade level. That is, having each grade level organize units to mimic those same themes and they are pretty universal so most things we could use would fit. Also to develop grade level pacing-type guides
