A HUGE thank you to Myra Green from the Alma Animal Clinic for coming to talk to English 10 classes today about professional etiquette and the do’s and don’ts of job interviews. They got a lot of it! Alma is blessed with great community leaders that support our schools.

Some pictures of our whoosh activity in Pre-AP English 10. Students wrote and performed their own summaries of Twelfth Night. It was so much fun! #Shakespeare

Lots of great discussions happening in Pre-AP English 10 today as students practice writing rhetorical precís about their book club books. It is a difficult concept, but these kids are rocking it!

[Alma_MsDapson @Alma_MsDapson]

My PreAP 10th grade classes are participating in book clubs this unit. For today’s meeting, they are creating symbolism crests for a character in their books.

My door is all ready for the contest thanks to my 2nd hour!

[Alma_MsDapson @Alma_MsDapson]

@ncte I set up stations with different discussion questions. I would recommend using a time limit for each station and setting expectations before starting.

[Alma_MsDapson @Alma_MsDapson]

I absolutely love this activity. Students in Pre-AP English 10 are participating in a silent discussion about “House Taken Over.” I’m always amazed by the in depth responses the students share when doing this activity! #English10 #NCTE

My classes discussed the qualities of a good class, and we created values based off of their discussions. I am looking forward to a wonderful year after having a great first week back!
