Assignments due for the week of November 22nd, 2021
PSAT/SAT/ACT Test Prep
Great practice on grammar points today as we prepared for the ACT English test! We took a quiz and went over the correct answers so that you could benefit from reviewing the twelve classic errors on the ACT. Those twelve errors will ALWAYS be found on every test. To make up for the week we missed, use your ACT answer sheet and take the timed 45 minute English test at home this week. Bring me back the answer sheet next week. We will then take the 60 minute Math test in class, and I will have both scores back to you the next week. Study page 47 in your notebook to make sure you know how to do the ten algebra and coordinate geometry questions that will be found on the ACT test.
Explorations in British Literature
Finish your reading of Twelfth Night by completing Acts IV and V. Answer the questions on pages 17 and 18 in your study guides. Next week, we will finish our two remaining reports on the Elizabethan Age and watch the remaining scenes on our video. We will also catch up on your quizzes on this play.
Watch this clip from Twelfth Night filmed in the Globe Theater in London. This is reminiscent of Shakespeare’s use of all male actors.
U.S. Government
Next week we will take a sample citizenship test and discuss the Supreme Court and its duties and familiarize ourselves with its members. Complete pages 58-60 on the Supreme Court in your notebooks. Make sure you have pages 62-64 (Law) and 66-68 (Trial) done by the following week. We will have a game review and and test on these lessons.
Quick Looks at Great Books
Great final review of A Tale of Two Cities for the final test. For next week, begin our new book, Silas Marner by George Eliot. Read Chapters 1-7 and answer the study guide questions 1-45. We will clarify the setting and characters as we begin our discussion.
