Please do fill out each of the cards for the body paragraphs. I know it is repetitive but then it will really stick on your mind. Bring you folder to class next time. If you are doing this virtually, do your own folder with whatever materials you have available and either take pictures or just show me in class next week online. Thanks!

HI Students! We are finally getting to our book! YAY! This book is dense, so we will be reading slowly, just a couple chapters per week. Lots of amazing things to talk about with this book though so even though the reading is pretty manageable there are a lot of juicy homework questions! So pace yourselves!

Hi! Sorry for the delay! Here is your homework for the short story, "ASound of Thunder" by Ray Bradbury

Sorry if this is a duplicate. Still working on how to "delete" things!

Hello! Happy First Week of School! I am SO happy that you are in my class! We're going to have a great time! Really!

In the attached document you will find the final "in-class" assignment that you will do on your own time. This will round out our class period to the normal 55 minutes it would have been in-person.

For Homework: (This class is rated a 4 meaning that students will have an hour of in-class work and 3 hours of homework due the following week.)
Most of our homework will revolve around reading the text 45-60 minutes a week and writing about it in the form of questions or 300 word paragraphs. All of the needed links will be included in the homework each week. The homework will probably not take a full 3 hours.
I would like to emphasize the importance of reading. If you do nothing else, (please do everything else!) read the text. My class is based on discussion of what we read and if you haven't read, it will be painfully obvious and the class will be super boring. So please READ!
This week: We are doing a bit of pre-reading for The Time Machine by H.G.Wells (such a great book!) We will be looking at the scientific possibilities of time travel and the concept of time.

Homework will be due at the beginning of class next week. Please email with any questions you have: [email protected].
Have a great week! Mrs. G
