Owning the Speed

Tiger Sharks, remember that parent/guardian signatures in your student planners are a part of the Individual Assignment grade. Every time your parents or guardians sign the agendas of the week, you receive a grade equivalent to one assignment. Stay up to speed by keeping the parent-student-teacher information line intact. As a recap of last week and the beginning of this week, the following are the agendas:

Sept 3 - 4

1. Review for Quiz #3 using "The Flash" Review Game* (Teams received their respective grades by the number of points they earned throughout the review game.)
2. Writing Test -- Filled in portions of the Character Grid*, watched the beginning portion of the Freedom Writers movie, and paused at the mid-area to be resumed during the following class session.

Sept 5 - 6

1. Bell Work: Quiz #3* (Ms. Sabangan's English 9 Syllabus)
2. Writing Test -- Individually finished the Character Grid* after watching key scenes from the Freedom Writers movie. At the end, students wrote three paragraphs detailing a character that the student identifies with, giving examples of how the there is a relation, and explaining the lesson(s) that can be learned from the character based on the movie. Organization was left to the student's discretion.

Reminders:

• Tiger Sharks team shirt and/or jacket designs are still being collected for review. If you or a person you know has artistic talent, please feel free to create a logo or design that would best suit our team. The final day for submissions is September 12, 2013, Thursday this week.
• The Tiger Sharks team meeting has been moved to Friday, September 13, 2013, during the first half of lunch in room 304. See you all there!

Working out the kinks,

Ms. Sabangan
