Turn in composition notebooks. This week is pretty heavy for formal assessments

(characterization essay, test, Socratic Seminar, etc.)- meaning that we have no time to waste in class. Stay focused, ask questions, and remain positive. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE stay after school if you need help so that you can do well on our test!

This is the last week to make up or adjust anything from the progress reports last week- meaning if you owe me anything or need to make up something you MUST do it this week. Remember- being college ready means being proactive, staying organized, and managing deadlines.

Binders will be collected Friday.

This is “Treehouse of Horror VIII”

Use the cast list you just wrote down

Match every character from The Crucible that you can to a character in this episode of The Simpsons.

Use the last column to write down a quick summary of what they did in the episode.

Some of the characters won’t appear or will have only minor parts. That’s okay! Just write “did not appear.”

During the Simpsons

You may complete your work as a group or

individually, however, everyone must submit something. (sometimes the paper explains that this is a portion of a larger project)

You have until the bell to accomplish this. I will be checking off your work before you leave, but you will keep it to help you study!

Crucible Review Stations

You have been grouped for a reason. You must remain with your group for the entire time. You are NOT to be having any side conversations

with any other groups or moving around the room. You have 10 minutes at each station. You will need

to be working the entire time to get your work done. When you hear: “As Time Goes By” you have

approximately 3 minutes left. When you hear: “Come Back to Me” you are to

finish up your work at this station and transition to the next station. By the end of the song you are to be seated and ready to work.
