Week of 10/6

Accounting: This week our class will be working on "The Accounting Game". Look for a quiz on this by the end of the week.

English 12: I'd like to welcome our new student, Joanna, to our class. We are beginning "The Canterbury Tales" this week and we have been going around the room telling about OUR life stories, much like the characters in Chaucer's poem. So far we have heard some very interesting things about our classmates! We will be learning this week about the historical background of this selection......and then off we go...............

English 10: We will be finishing "The Devil and Tom Walker" this week. We will be discussing "tall tales" and learning about some more examples of that genre of literature. There will be a test by the end of the week.......next week we will be starting "The Crucible".......just in time for Halloween.

World History: Chapter Two test today.........then off to Chapter Three where we will be discussing People and Ideas on the Move. We will cover such topics as: Indo-European Migrations, Hinduism and Buddhism, and the beginnings of Judaism. It should be a very interesting week!
