February 4
Two assignments completed on using/practicing Voice in writing. Notes are here. = = We have launched into Semester 2 - hopefully with a renewed sense of success. We read "The Leaving" a short story by Budge Wilson and worked on writing a friendly letter. The letter was finished by some students at the end of class and is due for homework on Friday. Notes on the friendly, or informal letter are here:
 * January 31**

=== January 18=== This was our final - and most important - day of review. We talked about and planned for the 5-paragraph essay assignment on the exam and reviewed/practiced questions for both the exam and the English Language Proficiency Assessment. There were several handouts and instructions for students with SEPs regarding the location of both exams and assessment on Monday afternoon.

Amazingly, several students did not come to class and so, missed all of the valuable review and work we did in class today. To their credit, **THESE STUDENTS CAME TO CLASS TODAY.** === January 16:=== We did a comprehensive review of the short story today. Students are encouraged to return to notes and postings from September and October found at the **__bottom of this page__**. Terms relating to literature, particularly poetry, were given in class today. Students are asked to be familiar with these terms as we review poetry tomorrow.

January 14 - 18
