To take this test, go to CLASSJUMP and open up the Parts of Speech test. We did the first twelve (12) items in class on Monday morning.
There is also a Parts of Speech review sheet. This will probably help if you need to review the definitions of certain parts of speech!

The Non-Fiction Presentation Project
Non-Fiction – Reading and Media Journalism
In your group (of 6, maximum),
Have everyone read some
articles (3-4 apiece) that pertain to your subject area. Have kids bring the articles in – either
online or in print. Discuss these
articles and come up with about four (4) that you think are representative:
Two contrasting print articles (i.e., written pieces)
One non-print piece (i.e., TV news; radio; online media,
such as YouTube)
At least one opinion
piece (any - print or non-print):
persuasion/editorial
Prepare and rehearse a 10-minute presentation in which you explain
the two print articles. Show your
non-print piece as a contrast to your print pieces, and talk about how media
journalism works (the same? Differently?) in relation to print journalism. Finally, share your opinion piece, and talk
about the role of Op-Ed writing in your chosen subject area (sports,
technology, travel, et al.). For
example, how does opinion about the
golfing world affect factual reporting
and/or factual events in golf?
The Areas:
THE ARTS
(“Team Kamila”)
SCIENCE
(“Team Caleb”)
MINNESOTA ISSUES (“Team Valeria”)
US/WORLD ISSUES
(“Team Grace”)
TRAVEL
(“Team Annika”)
TECHNOLOGY (“Team Emily/Kailey/Maiya/M/J”)
THE STOCK MARKET
(“Team Tanner”)

An Iliad, at the Guthrie Theater, May 19
Here are some shots of our illustrious group at the Big G...

Dinner Before Tonight's Show
For all ILIAD theater-goers:
9th Graders and Families are welcome to join an optional pre-show dinner tonight at 5:00 p.m.
We plan to eat dinner at 5:00 p.m. at THE TEA HOUSE Szechuan Restaurant -- White Bear Ave. and I-94, at the eastern-most end of St. Paul, Minnesota!
The Tea House, in case you don't already know, is a wonderful restaurant. It is famous for its hospitality, and this includes hospitality to Western taste-buds!! I.e., If you don't wan't "spicy," the Tea House won't make you "eat spicy." On the other hand, if you DO prefer spicy, they have super-spicy waiting in the kitchen. It's up to each diner.
In any event, those who plan to eat at The Tea House should plan to spend roughly $10.00 per person.
And for all -- whether or not you dine at The Tea House -- we will still gather at Woodbury High School, North Entrance (by the American flag), at 6:00 p.m. for our 6:05 p.m. departure for the Guthrie.
Last but not least, Mr. Bratnober does still have some extra tickets, so last-minute additions of enrolled Honors English 9 students and/or family members is still an option, 100%

Guthrie Tickets and Chaperones for Sunday, May 19
Student tickets for An Iliad are $20.00 apiece for the evening show on May 19. Please bring your $20.00 to school by Wednesday, May 15. Cash is fine, and so are checks (make checks payable to WHS).
For each parent chaperone who drives to the Guthrie, this admission is complementary. The comp ticket is to thank you for supporting the trip, and to reimburse you (artistically!) for your gas mileage.
All our 1st Period students except five (5) have indicated that they plan to take the trip. Mr. Bratnober will attend, needless to say, and one additional chaperone/driver has now signed up. (Thank you, Mrs. D.!!)
This means there are still six additional slots for parents or guardians to join our group. Please contact Mr. Bratnober right away (651-262-4119) if you are interested in becoming a chaperone/driver. It would .be great if we could add a minimum of three or four more committed chaperones.
Please call Mr. Bratnober with any lingering questions you may have about our Guthrie excursion. .
