Detail of Current Event, Novel and Creative Writing Assignments

CURRENT  EVENTS:
Each student must bring in a Current Event (clipped  out of  the newspaper  or printed off of the internet) to school  each Thursday.  The article is to be glued to a sheet of paper with a short summary written under the article.
MUST BE NATIONAL OR INTERNATIONAL NEWS!!!
NOTE:   Current  Event assignments are due even  on weeks  we are  out of school; Example: Over the Christmas vacation the student would have to have One for each week missed: Assignments are due on the Thursday after returning to school.

NOVELS:
Several  novels will  be selected  by the  teachers and myself  for your student  to read during  the school year.  These novels  are selected  so that the  students can  stretch their reading ability  and be exposed to  books they ordinarily would not read. For  the older  students, the  books are  picked with  college in mind.   Every effort will be  made to pick books that have* "Cliff Notes"  or  are  on  tape for  students  who  have  difficulty reading.   However,  if   you  feel  your  student  will  not  be successful  in reading the book  chosen,  please let us know and we may suggest another book.
There  will  be writing  assignments,  creative  activities, book reports  or all  of the above  while your  student is reading the novels.

CREATIVE  WRITING:
Your student will be given creative writing assignments throughout the year. The assignment topic could be anything from something "just for fun" to poetry to several pages assigned on a subject.
 
Note: The Creative Writing Format can be found on the "Orange Sheet" page of our Website
