Rhetoric I Lit/Comp (Kaminer)

Posted by Kaminer

Literature/Composition March 1-5

Dear Students,

February has flown by! This week we find ourselves in the month of March, and with it comes some time to rest and rejuvenate. Before you gear up for Spring Break, buckle down for one last week of work:

Homework due Monday: Wordly Wise A-C of Lesson 16; Revise 1st quatrain of sonnet, and write the 2nd quatrain (or more); Read Act V, Scenes I and I of Macbeth.

We will continue working on our sonnets and History Fair essays. Our goal for this week is to have ALL our body paragraphs written and revised before spring break. We can do it! Body paragraph 3 is not due until Tuesday.

Expect to work on your punctuation this week, and we will have our usual vocabulary quiz on Tuesday.

We will do several each day before viewing the film. You will have study questions to answer relative to the film. These will be due on Friday and we will discuss them.

Rhetoric College Notice

MARCH 4 FIELD TRIP TO BAYLOR LAW OUTREACH PROGRAM

As a career awareness opportunity, our Rhetoric students will be attending the annual Future Lawyers Outreach Program on March 4, 2010 hosted by Baylor Law School.  The goal of the program is to provide students with an increased understanding of higher education, supplemented by an understanding of the legal process.  Students will leave Live Oak at 9:45 a.m. and return by 1:45.  The program includes a welcome by Assistant Dean of Admissions Becky Beck-Chollett, a mock law class, a luncheon, and closing ceremonies.  

CONCERNING COLLEGE ADMISSIONS TESTS

Become familiar with the ACT test (www.act.org) and the SAT test (www.collegeboard.com).  As Rhetoric 1 students, it is NOT too early to begin to learn everything you can about college admissions tests.  The more familiar you are with their format and questioning, the more comfortable you will feel when you take them.  Also, you can get an idea of what you need to pay particular attention to in your lessons.  Look into both tests and take some practice tests on line.  You may find that you perform better on one over the other.  Most colleges accept either one so it may not be necessary to take both.  Be sure you look on the college’s website, though, to see if your college of choice is among the ones that accepts either.

Mathematics with Mr. Graham – Advanced III

Posted by Mr. Graham

Week of 3/1-3/5

Wow, its hard to believe that Spring Break is almost here.  We are going to have a short test over chapter 8 on Tuesday.  Naturally, we are going to have a chance to review on Monday.  We will spend the rest of the week using the tools of the old geometers: compass and straightedge.  Using only these simple tools we are going to construct all sorts of geometrical things.  It should be a lot of fun!

The last few articles from the New York Times have taken us up through addition, multiplication and subtraction.  There is one basic operation left, and it sure is an oddball.  Find out why at #4 – Division and Its Discontents.
