Mrs. Wimmer's Monday Mail
English II Pre-AP, Yearbook, and Writing Skills
English II Pre-AP
This week in English II Pre-AP news, we are finishing up our MLK "I Have A Dream" analysis projects. The students will "teach" the class about their group's sections of the speech.
Thursday, the students will take a test over the rhetorical devices used in the speech.
Friday, we will learn about Edgar Allen Poe!
Yearbook
The yearbook staff has big week this week. Our first big deadline is this Friday, the 23rd. Because of this, please expect to have some work nights this week.
Writing Skills/Technical Writing
In writing skills, we are reading the coolest book, "Al Capone Does My Shirts." The students are learning to analyze a piece of writing AS they read...taking brain breaks, summarize, and then answer questions that are written in the style of the STAAR exam. Each day, we get closer to being successful on the STAAR!
