Friday

Week of 10/4 through 10/6

Well, this was a crazy week. Not only was it short because of inservice days, but in AP Lit we lost a day through counselor meetings, and to top it off, I had jury duty. So our class schedule got a little hectic and convoluted, to say the least. Nonetheless, here is the run-down of what happened in class, in case you missed it.

Freshmen:
 10/4 and 10/5: Groups presented the posters you made last week and we discussed the various aspects of "Hunters in the Snow." This served as a review to prepare you for the test.

10/6: Short Story and Literary Terms Test 

AP Lit:
10/4: We looked at some "Bartleby" essay rough drafts and talked about some writing and editing issues. This was in preparation for your first solo essay that was due on Wed. We also talked for a few minutes about our first impressions of Holden Caulfield and made a list of his traits, so far.

10/5: Most classes (all but period 6) met with counselors to review transcripts, etc. We also went over the RHS Code of Conduct and talked about Future Options Day next Wed.

10/6: Period 6 met with counselors today so the rest of you had time to read, get ahead in Catcher and, of course, you were supposed to have turned in your Character Description Essays to Mr. Robertson.
