September 21-25

Speech

We completed two of the extemporaneous speech formats last week and we’ll continue with the other two on Monday. Next up are a couple of “impromptu” speeches, which you will enjoy. When they are finished we will begin work on presenting our testimony. I will demonstrate the two basic methods of this form of speech and then you will construct yours for presentation. Progress reports go home on Monday so make sure you get them to your parents.


English 11

On Monday we’ll take the first grammar test. You have continued to improve steadily so far and I expect you to do well on the test. We will discuss “Marco Polo” on Monday and then read William Bradford’s Pilgrim writings in the book. You will find these more interesting than the earlier American writings. Your myth is due on Friday and we’ll most likely have a vocabulary test on Friday, as well. This week we’ll be looking at complements and their usage. Progress reports will be provided on Monday.



Bible HS

We took our first tests on Friday and most students did well with the memory test. The content, Revelation 6-10, proved to be difficult for many of you. We will have an additional test on Revelation 11-14 by midweek so begin working on that as soon as I provide you with notes. On Monday we’ll begin studying chapter 15, the shortest chapter in the book. It’s a chapter of transition, often felt to be a defense of God’s wrath. As we’ll see, God needs no defense for anything He does. The Scripture memory test will be on Friday, as it will be on most Fridays. Progress reports will be provided on Monday.
