Thursday, January 11th

Here are our plans for today:

• We'll begin by checking out Jon Krakauer's bestselling book, Into the Wild. We'll read and discuss Chapter One. You will have open notes reading quizzes throughout our study of this book, so be sure to jot key ideas down in your notes whenever we stop to discuss something from the text. 
• You'll log back in to Khan Academy and open the SAT Practice Test One, then you'll use your paper answer sheet to carefully enter your answers for both the Reading and the Writing and Language practice tests you took this week. Do not submit the test, as you'll need to enter your other answers in your math classes. Turn your answer sheets back in when you are finished.
• Finally, you'll have some WORK TIME for the following:
• Vocabulary review exercise: choose five of the English words on this week's vocabulary list and write a complete sentence that correctly uses the word and demonstrates your best writing ability. Then choose one of the Greek or Latin roots and draw a labeled illustration of it. (Stick figures are acceptable, but feel free to blow me away with your artistic ability.) Due Today.
• One-on-one check-ins with me about any missing work or corrections you need to do.
