If you haven’t heard yet, my son Joe was in a car accident on Thursday night and broke his neck. We are hoping that he will have surgery tomorrow (Monday), and if that goes well, the recovery should take a relatively short period of time. In fact, I hope to make it to school for Tuesday’s classes.
Our class is in good shape to finish everything the other Enriched 10 classes are planning to finish this semester. In fact, when I met with the other two Enriched 10 teachers last week, I realized that we have a few days to spare. I was only planning on showing you part of the film I am Legend to compare and contrast to The Road. Regular 10 students really enjoyed that lesson because the parallels are very interesting. Anyway, since we have a few days to spare, I've been able to work in the entire film for Monday and Tuesday this week.
My friend Mrs. Gens, who was an EHS teacher for 30 years, will be coming in for me tomorrow.
On Wednesday we are having our PLAN test debrief, and then I will start some mini-lessons to get you prepared to do well on the "English Language" portion of the ACT test since 80% of you will use the ACT as your college entrance exam.
Then on Thursday we will continue with our discussion of The Road, so have the book finished by then. That gives you a little extra time as compared to the previous reading schedule.
