Jeopardy!

Today I introduced your House on Mango Street projects that will be due next Friday, March 8th. The guidelines are posted on Schoology under the Mango St. folder labeled as House on Mango Street Project. You have three options. You may create a soundtrack of your life. You may write your own vignette. Or you may create a graphic novel.

All three options have writing involved (as this is English class), but please play to your strengths. If you're not a fan of music, don't pick the soundtrack option. If you hate writing, don't pick the vignette. And if you can't draw or are not "good" with computers and graphic design, don't pick the graphic novel.

We will not be giving any class time to complete this assignment so make sure that you get it done, and get it done well. This is not a project to be completed the night before. It will take a lot of thought and it will take time. This is your opportunity to get a high test grade if you do not believe you will do well on the test tomorrow. And even if you do do well tomorrow, most of you did not do so hot on your I Am Poems so this is a chance to seriously boost your grade. Take advantage of it. Mr. Hannah and I will be available for any questions or concerns about the project so please come see us if you're having any trouble.

As for jeopardy, I'm glad to see that many of you got into the competitive spirit and really pushed yourselves today. If you took great notes, it will sincerely help you in studying for this test tomorrow. Here's the link for the jeopardy game if you'd like to play again tonight to study:

Likewise, the study guide is up on Schoology under the Mango St. folder to further aid you in your studying. If you use the study guide, it will GREATLY help you to prepare for tomorrow's test.

Mr. Hannah and I have done everything we can to prepare you for this test. Now it's your turn to study!
