English classes recently finished The
Call of the Wild and
began studying one
of my favorite dramas, Cyrano de Bergerac, the intellectual
sword-fighter with
the shockingly large
nose. So far, a fan
favorite!
In the land of
Spelling, Roots, and
Foreign Phrases, we
added 6 new
spelling words, 6
new Greek and Latin roots, as well as 4
new foreign phrases
to our list. Please
remember that all
tests are cumulative!

As always, if

The students
are currently reading
Shakespeare’s Twelfth
Night in English 8.
This comedy is full of
mistaken identity and
unrequited love. A
permission slip will
be sent home
requesting your
permission to allow
your student to
watch the movie
Twelfth Night which
is rated PG. According to district policy,
I need parental permission to show any
movie that isn’t rated
G in class =)
In the world of
Spelling, Roots, and
Foreign Phrases, we
added 5 new spelling
words, 6 new Greek
and Latin roots, as
well as 4 new foreign
phrases to our list.
Please remember that
all tests are cumulative!
