Dear Families,
I hope all of you have had a safe Labor Day weekend.
ESSAYS ARE DUE SEPTEMBER 18TH.
This week we will continue our short story unit, and all classes will begin our in-class novel, A Monster Calls. The novel addresses the illness of a parent and how Conor, the main character, finds different ways to cope with her sickness. It is a beautifully written book and I have enjoyed teaching it since it was first published.
Honors class will read the same novel, but there will be many writing assignments in reference to the material.
QUILL will be due this Friday, NO late work will be accepted and the grade will remain a zero/0. Students should be aware of expectations for the week. This is a weekly test grade. Please ensure they are successful with this assignment. I will send an email Thursday night to remind them of completion.
If absent, please see the Daily Assignments folder in Schoology. Make-up work is the student's responsibility.
Have a great week.
-Mrs. Matejka
