Today we took the BOY (beginning-of-year exam)! It’s not the most exciting thing we’ll ever do in English, but it is important, and I want to thank you, students, for taking it so seriously and doing your best work.
If you were absent, make an appointment to come by and make it up – looking at my schedule for the rest of the week right now, I think the only time I am going to be free in Friday during lunch tutorials (I have meetings at lunch Wednesday and Thursday, I’m helping to proctor the PSAT tomorrow afternoon and have a meetings Thursday and Friday after school). If Friday during lunch won’t work, let’s see if we can get you done with the exam early next week.
Also – many of you have been asking about when your Reaping scene rewrite is due – we’ll talk more about that tomorrow! I just don’t want you fretting – it’s not for homework tonight.
I’m going to go ahead an attach our word list and PowerPoint for this week, just in case you feel like getting an early start.
