Some classes have finished this assignment, however, everyone did not get this finished in class so I'm posting it here to wrap up "The Most Dangerous Game."
Find and list at least 3 scenes from the story that show the author building suspense into the story. Remember that if the story was a movie, these are the scenes that would have you on the edge of your seat wondering what's going to happen.
Keep in mind the test for "The Most Dangerous Game" is tomorrow. You will need to know your vocabulary words for the story, the terms protagonist/antagonist and static characters/dynamic characters, and what happens in the story's plot (including the suspense scenes). We will spend about 10 minutes reviewing before we take the test, which is 20 questions (40 points).
REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW FOR THE TEST!!!

WEEK IN REVIEW for August 27-August 31
Monday: We took the SRI test in the media center. If you were absent, you will need to go to the media center and complete the SRI test.
Tuesday: We completed an Anticipation Guide for "The Most Dangerous Game" and we received the vocabulary words for that story. Honors (periods 2 and 3) took the test for SAT list 1 words and received SAT word list 2. We began reading "The Most Dangerous Game."
Wednesday: 9th grade meetings in the auditorium.
Thursday: We finished reading "The Most Dangerous Game" and discussed characterization. You learned the four clues authors often leave about characters (what the character looks like, says, does, and what other characters say about him/her). We also discussed the terms protagonist, antagonist, static characters and dynamic characters.
Friday: Honors took the test for SAT list 2 and received SAT word list 3. From here on out you will have the whole week to study the words. We reviewed the answers to the homework. We also finished the characterization charts and began sharing answers.

Student Email and Blogs are ready!
All students now have a safe, Gaggle.net email account set up for them. I have also set up student blogs using blogger. Parents: Keep an eye out for the online use policy that will be sent home this week. Students: You must sign the acceptable use policy for your Gaggle.net email accounts before receiving your user name and password.
Note about Gaggle.net emails and the blogs: None of the emails are private on Gaggle.net. Students cannot view each other's email accounts, however, I am the administrator for all the student accounts and I can view any mail in the inboxes, sent mail, or deleted mail folders. This is to ensure the safety of our students and to guard against cyberbullying. Gaggle.net scans all email for inappropriate words. All blogs are set up by me as well, so that I can sign in and delete the blogs if they are used inappropriately. Students who do not abide by the acceptable use policies will not be allowed to participate in our writing journey with blogs.
There are advertisements on the email site currently, but none are inappropriate for students. There is an ad-free version, however, it costs about $200 a year for a subscription. Needless to say... I went with the free version.
Parents: If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask me! I'm always glad to help. :-)
