Nov. 1-Nov.5

9 English
This week our midterm will be on Tuesday, Nov. 2.
The midterm will cover reading skills, by having students read the last Letter from D, and then answer questions in complete sentences. Students should remember that the questions should be evident in the answer and remember to use proper punctuation and grammar, such as: pronouns cannot be used until the antecedent or noun is used first; remember to answer in the past tense. Also on the exam will be some root words, vocabulary words, parts of speech, and notes on short story theory. Review will be Monday. Review sheets will be passed out Monday, in case students have missed some notes.

After the midterm, students will be reading our last short story for a while, Moon Maiden. After they read the story and develop their vocabulary lists, we shall be beginning a unit on poetry, for preparation for the Provincial Exam in January.
