Beloved Students,
This is wild.  I hope that this blog post finds you more than well.  I can't believe we're doing this all from home and I'm actually really excited about it.  If you weren't aware, we are now going to be doing our assignments for this class on Canvas until it's determined that we can start attending school together again.  I will post a new learning activity/assignment for all of my A and B day classes on the following days during the 2 week period: March 18th, March 20th, March 24th, March 26th.  Expect to logon on those days to complete an activity or assignment and respond on the class discussion board at your convenience.

To access your classroom on Canvas, just login to Canvas Alpine using your school email and go to my English classroom.  There you will find your first assignment, a book browse and a discussion board.  USE THE BOOK TRAILERS BELOW TO START YOUR BOOK BROWSE.  Email me at ggagnier@alpinedistrict.org if you have any questions or concerns.  Thanks!  
Mr. Gagnier

Today we took Quiz #9 after reading and presented Vista Projects.  During Vista Projects, we edited each other's papers looking for elements of argumentation.

Today we took Quiz #8 of our whole class novel and then continued drafting our poems.  11 Honors drafted the Slam Poem and 11 English drafted the SIngle Story Poem.  Drafts are due next class period.  

Today we took Quiz #7 of our class novel and discussed the reading.  Then we began drafting our poem.  11 Honors drafted the Slam Poem and 11 English drafted the SIngle Story Poem.  

Today we took Quiz #6 in class and discussed the reading.  Then we finished the ACT registration packet in preparation for the ACT on March 3.  If you missed the quiz, you'll need to come in during flex or before or after school to take the quiz.  If you missed the ACT packet, you'll need to get yours from the counseling office and fill it out.  

Today we took Quiz #5 of our whole class novel and then filled out the ACT Registration Packet in preparation for taking the ACT.  If you were gone, you'll need to get the packet from the counseling office and have it filled out before March 3 when we take the ACT.

Today we took Quiz #4 and planned out and outlined our Single Story poem and our Slam Poems.  We turned in that handout and, if you haven't already gotten one, get one from the manila folders near the door.  

Today we took Quiz #3 of our class novel and then went to the play "EVery Brilliant THing" being put on by an acting troupe from SUU.  Enjoy!

Today we took Quiz #2 and discussed the final poem for the term; we also proposed two ideas for the poem for our writer's notebook and turned in our proposals.

Today we started reading All the Light We Cannot See in 11th Honors and The Book Thief in English 11 and took the first reading quiz.  We also finished the anticipation guide for both stories.  You'll need to come in and take the quiz that you missed during flex or before or after school.
