Welcome!

Welcome to second semester English 12 Mrs. Friesz. This semester students will study poetry, drama, prose, and formal oral presentations, while also building cloze reading, writing/analysis skills First on our agenda is Sonnets, then, Shakespeare’s Macbeth. We will also have outside reading assignments. Major Assignments will be posted on this site with due dates. Fourth Nine Weeks will end with my favorite and many previous students have also stated, their favorite assignment their: Senior Speech. I have posted some websites to assist students with research for this semester’s content.

Speeches start May 19, 2008 - but students will work on their topic, research, formal outline, and technology beginning the middle of April. Students will choose a book to read that relates to their topic and include information from the text in their 5-10 minute oral presentation. They must research their topic and support their topic with five sources. The topics have ranged from “Freshman 15” - to “Rock Climbing in Utah.” This is their topic choice! - but Appropriate. As we started the year - with their essay topic for their “college essay choice,” we end the year with their “topic choice.”

Reminders:

No work will be accepted late and if students are absent for a test or quiz, students must make up their work (if assigned previously), on the day of return. If it was assigned while they were absent, they have three days (G/W/G). There is a Black Appointment Book Available to Students - for appointments. Wednesdays from 2:45-3:30 is the normal make up day. If another day is needed, students must ask me if the date and time they desire is available, then make the appointment.”

If students are going on a field trip (or a pre-arranged) family trip, work must be completed and turned in prior to their trip (or the quiz/test) must be taken prior to their trip. Students must communicate and ask for assignments (earlier than - the afternoon prior to their field trip/pre-arranged trip).

Please email me if: K12Planet does not appear posted at least every two weeks, or if there are any concerns/questions - regarding assignments. Students may also sign up for K12Planet and have access. Please utilize this resource.
