You did it!


Yea! You survived midterms!You will get your English midterm back on Monday. I'll describe how I graded it and some of the commonalities I found. For the most part, effort was the key to doing well.

I will be out Wednesday-Friday next week, But the good news is I will return with the projected ELA score knowledge! I won't be able to tell you your individual grades, but I can let you know if I will be a wig-wearer in March.

In the meantime on Monday and Tuesday we will dive into our new unit. Here is another question to get you reflecting on themes we'll discuss in class:

How do you handle major disappointments? Do you hide yourself away? Or do you need to talk it out? Can you think of a novel in which a character dealt with life changing news? If so, what was it? How did he/she react?

  1. When I have major disappointments I always hide myself away. In the book, "Doomed Queen Anne" by Carolyn Meyer, Anne finds out that her husband King Henry VIII(I don't know what number that is)wants to have her beheaded. Anne both didn't believe it and she was scared.
