English 9 - Book XXI... Prelude to the Beatdown

Tomorrow is Wednesday.  Bring your vocabulary notecards.

Any students who were assigned to finish listening to/reading The Odyssey Book XXI and answering the study guide questions (omitting #2) should do so for homework. 

Audiotexts of all books assigned of The Odyssey can be found on the English 9 Moodle. 

Missing a study guide?  Link to Book XX and Books XVIII & XIX study guides can be found in the previous text. 

The Odyssey Part II Test will be on Tuesday, May 8.

Students should take the following notes into consideration as we approach the end of the semester:

1. Projects are not optional.  Neither are quizzes or tests.
2. If you have a low grade for daily work, do your daily work (homework/classwork).  Many of these are completion grades, so actually complete your assignments.
3. Low vocabulary quiz grade average?  Study for your quizzes.  Retake failed quizzes during the one week time period allowed.  Get help if you don't know how to study.
4. Low test grades?  Study for your tests.  Get help well in advance to help you study.  Oh, and do your daily work since that's what eventually ends up on the tests.
