TO ALL MY LITERATE 9 STUDES...
GREETINGS!
Nine Days and counting...and if you're safe, then off you go to Grade 10 Literature...! In the meantime, there's still a lot more to accomplish before you actually leave my domain. So...here it goes...
First of all...Choral Recitations this week...Green Day Groups on Monday (31 May 2010) while Blue Day Groups on Tuesday (01 June 2010).
Second...Odyssey Final Exam Presentation...also this week. I have given you my comments and suggestions on how to further improve your final product. It is up to you to heed my advice or go with what you think you want to do---your call!
Third...I would like you to please photocopy and present to me the complete pages of the LANGUAGE HANDBOOK (Pages 993-1039) from the back of your Literature 9 Textbook. I am going to require you to understand it well and work on this and try to master it over the summer so that when you enter Grade 10, you will be twice as prepared as you are now in terms of your English skills. Furthermore, I am also going to tell your Literature 10 Teacher about it so she can check it with you as soon as you meet her next Academic Year. DO NOT BE IDLE OVER THE BREAK and continue improving your English skills!
Lastly...get hold of the following novels over the summer and READ-READ-READ! These are the stories you will be taking up in Literature 10 next Academic Year. Start asking the Sophomores of this year if you can borrow their personal copies, that is, in case they bought it. Be ready with it...
- Fahrenheit 451
- Midsummer Night's Dream
- Night
- Animal Farm
- A Separate Peace
That's All Folks! GOOD LUCK to all your other FINALS this week and Study and Prepare for all of it really well...! Once again...Nine Days and counting...hang in there...CIAO!!!

GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE…!
My internet is still down and this is after I have bought a brand new BELKIN router, reported it to TRUE Telephone Company, and had a TRUE Technician come and check my line at home---SIGH! I had to drive to school now just so that I can post this...so better make sure YOU ALL KNOW OF IT...!
I am hoping that everyone had a couple of nice extra and relaxing days…I know I did---LOL!
It is too bad that some of you did not complete your “OFF DAY” tasks for Literature 9…that is surely going to affect your grades…AGAIN! That was not a good move on your part since this is the last and final quarter of the year and not having done the task meant an automatic zero over fifty points. And PLEASE do not use the excuse that you did not know---EVERYONE ELSE DID IT!
Anyways…WE ARE GOING TO STICK WITH OUR LITERATURE 9 CALENDAR SCHEDULE…however, there will be minor changes to my Green Day Group. In the CALENDAR, we are supposed to have Novel 4 discussion on Monday…instead of that, we are going to have our discussion on The Gift of the Magi (GOTM)---be ready for that! Also, on Monday, I would like ALL my Literature 9 Classes to give me a disc of whatever it is you have accomplished with your ODYSSEY Projects…this is just the preliminary screening and it does not have to be perfectly done...this way I can watch it on my own and give comments instead of doing it in class and wasting the session. My Blue Day Group will proceed with The Cask of Amontillado (TCOA) on Tuesday and my Green Day Group will do the same on Wednesday. As I said…the rest will be the same…!
There were people who called me and asked if our Choral Recitations can be rescheduled. The answer is NO! I am sorry. I think I have given you more than enough time to prepare and work on your pieces so please do not think I am being mean or anything. Having been given more than a month to practice and rehearse for it…there should be no excuses anymore…!
Be ready for last two weeks because we are going to go over everything as scheduled...give it all your BEST! Re-read and understand the stories if there is a need to. Be safe and have a GREAT weekend...or whatever is left of it. See you all tomorrow morning, bright and early! CIAO!!!
