Mrs. Wimmer's Winners
Mrs. Wimmer's Monday Mail
Welcome Back!
As the new year begins, I reflect on the previous twelve months and choose two things I would like to improve. This year one of my improvements is parent/teacher communication. I admittedly fell very behind in my sending out of Monday Mail, so I resolve to get my newsletter out to you all every week, starting today! These newsletters will contain announcements, agendas for class study and extra resources for you all to share with your students pertaining to what we are studying in class. I hope you all find this useful!
English II Pre-AP
Weekly Agenda 1/3-1/6
This week back will consist of the following:
Tuesday: Welcome back, new seating charts, and we will go over our benchmark scores.
Wednesday: Introduction of the play "Twelve Angry Men," with culminating activity about the "CSI Effect" in today's courtrooms.
Thursday: Introduction of drama terms and judicial vocabulary, followed by a "Jury of Peers" activity.
Friday: Vocabulary study activity, finish previous activities if need be.
"12 Angry Men"
Reginald Rose's classic play, "12 Angry Men" is set in the jury room of a courthouse. The twelve men chosen to decide the fate of a young man, all from various backgrounds with different ideas and thoughts, deliberate until the vote is unanimous. As we read and analyze this play, I will share resources through this newsletter that will help you as a parent/guardian assist your 10th grader though this play.
Grammar Practice
All of my students will continue to fill in their journals with not only daily writing, but also grammar practice. This will help set them up for success not only on the STAAR exam, but also when they move on out into society.
Grades for this Week
"CSI Effect" Assignment (Homework Grade)
"Jury of Peers" Assignment (Daily Grade)
