Here's one more chance to show your vocabulary growth before the end of the year. You've already been assigned the attached list, but this time, master it to 100% and earn that exact percentage as a grade in Skyward. This will replace a final vocab test.

Many of you have already earned 80 % mastery or more on this list. Click on the link and go to the list page to check your mastery level.

After reading Act One, Scene One, answer the following questions. You may go back and re-read to help you find the answers.

Practice this list of 20 words to prepare for the test in one week. 80% mastery by the due date should not be difficult if you have been working on your Animal Farm overall list. Some of you are already done! I have also attached the handout of words and definitions that you received on paper in class.

Use the Animal Farm Final Vocab list to create a picture review.
1. Choose one picture representing each vocab word (totaling 20 slides, 20 words). 
2. Each slide should contain one large picture representing a word from the list (paste the URL leading to the picture online in the notes box below each slide)
3. Number each slide by placing a textbox in the corner with the digit(s).
4. Type the name of the word your picture represents in the notes below the slide--this will be your answer key.

We will complete this on paper.

The stories behind tattoos can be very personal, so you won't be required to share this slide with the class. I will, however, leave time for volunteers to share on Monday if you'd like.

Have fun, and make something meaningful!

1. Find an inspirational quotation that you would like to post on Mrs. Bell's classroom walls. 
2. Then, make a creative digital or manual design for aesthetically displaying this quotation. This is your opportunity to make this classroom your space. You will not be judged for your artistic ability--simply create something you are proud of--something that we all would enjoy looking at all year.
3. On the back of your poster, justify your choice. Write one paragraph explaining why this quotation is meaningful to  you.
4. Bring your artistic rendering of the quotation to class on the due date.
5. You do not have anything to submit digitally, so simply click "Done" when you have finished the physical poster.

Be sure to include the author of the quotation (at least in small text) on the poster. The author may also be "Unknown" or "Anonymous" (which are two very different things!). Just do a little Googling of CREDIBLE sources to be sure of the author's name or label.

Take notes while watching the video in class. Attached is the note sheet. If you missed class, see me to make up the video.

Informal Goal Letter: Speak your truth; make a promise to yourself
Handwrite the letter, addressing it to your guardian(s).

Conclude by asking them nicely for help and suggesting HOW they can help you reach that goal.
“Sign” it with your name.
Submit a PDF scan to Google Classroom
Hand-deliver your letter at open house or at a later date

Find an animated short film (If you search "Pixar animated short" or "Disney animated short" in YouTube, you will find a bunch. You may also use other streaming services such as Disney+, Hulu, Amazon Prime, Netflix, or others that may have animated short films to view). Watch the film carefully, and record plot details in the form below.

We did this in class:
Watch the video, and complete the worksheet.

Do your best! Don't stress!

Your course syllabus is attached. Please sign it, and either return the bottom portion on paper OR take a quality photo or "CamScan" of the signature portion, and submit it here.

Click the attached link.

Write a narrative telling Mrs. Bell about who you are. This is a very broad topic, so you may take this "story" in a variety of directions.

Some questions you may want to consider exploring are as follows:
(1) How have you become who you are today?
(2) What makes you tick?
(3) What makes you unique?
(4) What are your hopes and dreams?
(5) What about your life or yourself do you want your teacher to know? (6) What do you wish other people knew about you?
(7) What do you value?

This narrative should be at least three "chunky" paragraphs long. It can be creative and fairly informal if you wish-- try to establish your unique writer's voice. You will be scored simply on following directions and evincing effort. The purpose is for you to tell your story. Only your teacher will read it, unless you choose to share it with others.

You may submit this digitally or handwritten. If handwritten, please "CamScan" or take a quality photo of the handwritten document, and submit it digitally to this assignment.

Practice using CamScanner or another phone scanning app that transfers handwritten documents to digital PDFs.
1. Draw an interesting picture or write an intriguing statement on a piece of paper
2. Scan it
3. Upload it to Google Drive (or submit directly to Google Classroom if you scanner connects to the app)
4. Submit your newly digitized paper document to this assignment.
If you are having difficulty completing this, ask for help. This will be a useful tool for you this year, for your upcoming senior portfolios, and for your future.

Email a short yet formal message to [email protected] that says hello and includes your answers to these questions:
What are your preconceptions about [10th grade English / AP Literature]?
Why did you choose to take this class, or what do you hope to get out of this class?
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Once you finish, you may click "DONE" for this assignment.
