Culver's English 11, Honors English 9, and Creative Writing

Today we did a review activity with clothespins and index cards!  Students also worked on a classwork assignment called “Hey, Boo”. If you are absent today please make that up.

While they worked, students watched the beginning of the classic movie TKAM.

They also took home two worksheets for homework. One is called “What’s in a Name?”  It asks questions about each student’s ancestry. Do not answer anything you don’t feel comfortable with. 🙂

PS: Reason for ancestry talk is because Aunt Alexandria in TKAM is really big on ancestry and “where people came from”.

One website that can help is this one.

Hello!  The drawing included in this post is one artist’s impression of what Boo Radley looked like. Do you think he/she got it right?

Don’t forget, Open House PTA is on this Thursday evening! 6:30. I’m looking forward to meeting all of my students’ parents.

Today in class we read chapter 29 in TKAM, where it is revealed that Boo Radley killed Bob Ewell.  Tonight they are to finish the book. We’ll be doing some review on Wed and Thursday before the test on Friday (chapters 12-31).
