The End of a Really Good Thing

Well, another school year is over (almost) and I'm a little sad I won't be seeing the bloggers I've linked to for a while. This was an awesome year for me as a teacher - my ninth grade students were fun, energetic, and basically open to what I had to offer them - including keeping a public blog for class credit. Thanks to all my great students! I hope you keep in touch.

I can't give you credit any more for writing on your blogs, but I hope you'll keep them up and I'll check out what you post from time to time.

Have a great summer!

10 Things I Know About The Taming of the Shrew

The movie we are watching in class this week is based on the Shakespeare play The Taming of the Shrew. Research the play (spark notes is a good place to start) and make a list of 10 parallels to the movie. Include anything concerning characters, plot, setting, etc. Your list needs 10 things! Due Friday, June 12. No comments required.

Extra Credit: Reflecting on 9th grade English

Think about everything we've done this year - what was your favorite assignment? What was your least favorite assignment? Answer both questions and tell me why for each. The more detailed and reflective you are, the more credit you will receive. Be convincing and you might make a difference in the lives of next year's freshmen. 

Due Tuesday, June 9.
