September 14-18

Speech

On Monday we’ll complete your presentations of speeches based on the newspaper article. Thus far they have been very well done. I’m sure the remaining students will continue with that trend. This week we’ll focus on extemporaneous speeches including an introduction speech, a welcome speech, a presentation speech, and an acceptance speech. This will be a “speech-filled” week.


English

Monday we’ll correct the materials from “Turtle” and read “The Man to Send Rain Clouds.” This will complete the first section of unit 1. Following that we’ll begin our first writing assignment in which we’ll be writing a modern day myth. Our focus will be cause and effect and incorporating a trickster. We’ll also continue working on parts of speech and identifying errors in sentences so as to emulate ACT questions.


Bible

We will continue with the group presentations of the chapters 1-14 and then begin studying chapter 15, which is an introduction to the seven bowl judgments. This will also be our first week of memorizing passages from Revelation. Our first portion is chapter 19:11-12. We’ll test on that passage on Friday this week.
