Welcome back. This week's agenda is subject to some change, because of events that I will explain in class. This is what I plan to do for now:
Tuesday/Wednesday:
Introductions. The syllabus will be handed out. You will get two copies--one to keep in your notebook, the other to get signed by your parent. That syllabus should also be signed by you. Turn the signed copy back into me and you will get your first homework assignment grade--100.
We will go over the syllabus in class.
Turn in your summer assignments. There may be time to discuss them.
Second period: You will also receive forms that need to be turned in on Thursday.
All periods: We will go over fire drill procedures for this room.
Next, you will fill out a form with your personal and school information on it. You will receive your vocabulary books. Circle the part on the form that says "yes" for your vocabulary book. I probably will not distribute text books until next week when I know that I will be in school all week (unless something drastically unforeseen occurs).
In class, you will read the background to the play, "Agamemnon." If possible you may take parts and act in part of the play.
Homework: Complete Chapter One in your vocabulary books. You can expect to have such exercises due every Friday, and counted as a homework grade. You do not have to do the exercises "Vocabulary in Context." For my even classes, your vocabulary exercises will be due on Thursday this time, due to the the four-day schedule.
Friday: Completion of vocabulary exercises will be checked. Next, we will go over the exercises aloud so that you can check your work.
After that, we will continue with the play, "Agamemnon."
No homework this first weekend.
