We’re kicking off our drama unit, The Art of the Disguise, exploring how people "wear masks" depending on their audience. Students will begin reading Act I of Shakespeare’s Much Ado About Nothing and respond to analysis questions. We'll also take notes on verbals (gerunds, participles, and infinitives).

Our sci-fi unit, Beyond Reality, begins this week! Students will read Ray Bradbury’s “There Will Come Soft Rains”, focus on verbals in grammar, and start their sci-fi book clubs with self-selected novels.

This week we will start our human growth and development unit. This week we will establish why. Why is this important and why do we need to act with respect and maturity? We will review puberty and both the male and female reproductive system. As always please let me know if you have any questions.
