English 9 Honors Update
Hello parents and students,
As we mentioned in last week’s update, students began reading The Five People You Meet in Heaven for Tuesday of this week. Since there are a few more students who have to present, and presentations are taking quite a bit of time, we spent some days listening to presentations and others discussing the novel. Students have had some amazing insights into the book!
On Tuesday, conversation centered on the responses students wrote for the two sections of the novel they have read thus far. They also discussed strangers and how someone a student doesn’t know could impact his/her life in ways they can’t imagine. They also discussed how endings can also be beginnings.
On Thursday, Ms. Wildes gave students the chance to put on the “teacher hat.” Two volunteers wrote the day’s warm up which started off the conversation on the novel. In one class, students were asked to write about the characters in the novel and who most impacted Eddie’s life while the other class was asked their opinion of war and whether the ends justify the means.
Lastly, students worked on unit 15 in their vocabulary books in class today, however, many students were on the science field trip. The completed unit is due Monday, May 10.
As always, if you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to comment or contact me.
Best,
Ms. Wildes
Mrs. Gillis
