Short Stories: The First Few Class Periods

On the first day of school students listened to a dramatic recording of Richard Connell's "The Most Dangerous Game."  Their first homework assignment was to review this story for a quiz.


At the beginning of the second class period of English I, students took a quiz over "The Most Dangerous Game," and then turned their attention to preparing for the summer reading test.

After the summer reading test, Mr. Stone introduced students to the two-column note taking method.  Students took notes on note taking and on basic parts of a story and character terms.

There was no homework over the Labor Day weekend. 

During the first week of September, students read Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's "The Five Orange Pips" and Grace Ogot's "The Rain Came."  They took a quiz over each of these stories.
