First Day: "The Most Dangerous Game"

(Thursday, August 22 for Periods 1 & 2. Friday, August 23 for Periods 5,6, & 7.)

As students entered, they selected their own seats in the room, printing their names on a sticky note for the seating chart.

Class began with a reading of John 1:1 and prayer:

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning."

Students received a hard copy of the class syllabus. Both students and parents need to review the syllabus, sign it, and return it at the beginning of the second class period. (If a parent is out of town, full credit for this assignment will be available until next Thursday, August 29th.)

Students listened to a dramatic recording of "The Most Dangerous Game" with most following along in their textbooks. Mr. Stone informed students that they should bring their "big green literature book" to class every day unless directed otherwise. Students who have not yet purchased the Vocabulary Energizers text or the research handbook should acquire those in the next couple of weeks.

Students need a composition notebook for journaling in this class.

Homework: Both students and parents should read the syllabus, sign the last page, and return it to Mr. Stone at the beginning of the next class period.

Students should begin studying for the Summer Reading test that will be next Thursday.
