1984 and The Hunger Games

Today in English 9 (1st and 5th period) we completed a grammar worksheet on nouns (see Ms. S to get this) and we reviewed Unit 1 vocabulary. Remember the quiz will be this Friday!

We started the much anticipated Hunger Games!! I gave a hulking packet that will last us the entire novel-- so do not lose this or let your dog chew on it. We did the first two activities in the packet. The first one was a series of video clips that introduced us to the novel and author (we all agreed Ms. Collins could use a hair straightener). The second activity was a series of agree/disagree statements. We will return to the second one once we finish the novel.


In Honors English 9 we did  a grammar worksheet (finding the subject of the sentence) and review unit 1 vocabulary (remember the quiz is Friday and I promised no vocab cards as long as you don't bombed the first test!!)

Next we started getting into 1984. Everyone should have received a novel and a packet. I went over the packet and the class suggested Socratic Seminars in place of comprehension questions, which I am totally in favor of!!
