April 19-23

English 11

We’ll complete the brief study of poetry on Monday or Tuesday. Then we’ll begin work on Hemmingway’s The Old Man and the Sea, a novella that will move quickly and which you’ll find interesting. We’ll probably finish our work on the novella by Friday. There will be several writing assignments this week, some of which will be related to the book. Let me again thank you for the excellent job you did on your Mark Twain presentations. They were the highlight of the year for me. It’s enormously rewarding for a teacher to see students demonstrate their skills in such a manner as that. We’ll also be looking at some vocabulary work this week. Next week is Stanford test week so we may not be meeting for English on one of more days that week.


HS Bible

Well, we finally started our study of Colossians, although it was only an introduction. We’re going to find it is a defense of the sufficiency of Christ alone for salvation. On Monday you’ll make your presentations on Revelation and then we’ll get back into Colossians. We’ll add two more verses to the memorization passage this week. We’ll also go back to idea mapping in Colossians so get your colored pencils or pens ready. Please don’t forget to start working toward your community service requirement. The end of the year will come much faster than you imagine.
