WRHS Open House
Wednesday, Aug 21 -- 6:00-9:00 pm
Having spent last week getting to know one another and the expectations of the class, this week we'll jump right into the English 11 curriculum. We'll start the week with checking out textbooks, handing out and briefly discussing this week's Close Read, and shaping our first essay of the semester: the Personal Narrative. Students will then have two days in the computer lab to shape and create a rough draft of the essay. On Thursday we'll take some time to preview our first play of the semester as we consider the history behind Arthur Miller's The Crucible. We'll wrap up the week with students doing an Active Reading activity for the 1st Quarter Independent Book Project (IBP).
