From this point on, whether you come to my room for 1st, 2nd, 9th, or 4th block we will be doing intensive EOG reading passage preparation.
- Language Arts Classes – EOG preparation
- In class we will be continuing our Holocaust unit of study
- We had been viewing portions of the made for TV production called Anne Frank. If you missed what we saw in class, you can find the entire TV production on YouTube, as well as the entire play version.
- Your job was to take notes while viewing the movie excerpts in order to write a compare/contrast essay discussing the similarities and differences between aspects of the play and the excerpts we saw.
- You can DOUBLE your grade by providing a detailed Double Bubble Map that goes with your essay.
- We will also be using class sets of EOG Preparation resources in our final approach to the EOG test.
- How about some Holocaust current events?
- At home, I suggest you begin with Test-taking Strategies while in class we will be using the following:
- Holocaust related readings with accompanying multiple choice as well as short and extended response questions.
- Never Again
- Altruism
- The Camps
- The Diary
- Anne Frank Test Prep Activity (THANKS Ms. Harkey!!)
- Holocaust & Anne Frank Readings
- Buckle Down Reading Prep Books
- You can find a lot of online resources for preparation. Check out the links below.
- 9th Block Classes & those of you practicing for the EOG at home
- You can use resources through this very website. Inclusion of resources on my pages does not constitute endorsement. . .

9TH BLOCK - Today you will take notes in one of many ways. You decide which of the these links to use:
Personal Daily Reading – You should by this point all have personal novels. Each day when you show up, you are to
- Grab your novel. If you do not have your personal novel, then you have to use a newspaper. and read for a minimum of 15 minutes. Out of this reading, you must:
- By the end of the week, you should have
- Written a short summary of the portion you’ve read over the course of the week.
- Written 1 of each type of Marzano/Bloom question (7 total)
- Written the appropriate answer for each question.
- Write the question into the answer; reword the question in the answer
- Give you answer.
- Provide details and/or information from the reading to support your answer.
Character Recognition - You all begin with 100/100 points in this grade. This new grade is a reflection of how much you take an interest in your own achievement as well as that of others. When the class is supposed to be doing something -say silently reading novels, newspapers, etc. – then you should exemplify the right thing to do by doing that. This grade will be based on the your display of character traits and character building behaviors such as:
- responsibility, open-mindedness, honesty, courage, perseverance, self-honesty, willingness, loyalty, seflless service, faith, integrity, humility, altruism, justice, spirituality, get it?
- You lose 1 point each time I see/talk to you about your not exeplifying character or character building behaviors.
