Hello 9th Lit Scholars, 
This week we will continue our exploration of George Orwell's Animal Farm. You will get an opportunity to read chapters 3-6. The work is a novella and only has 10 total chapters.  In addition, you should be reading your chosen independent reading novel. You will need to choose 2 response questions from the list on Schoology to answer.  

​We will end this unit with a culminating project. If you have missed previous assignments and you would like to submit work to improve your grade it is NOT TOO LATE!  

​COMMUNICATION
We will not be returning to our physical building however your opportunities for learning abound.  In accordance to CCSD expectations, PHS is adopting the digital learning schedule above.  In the meantime, learning will take place. You can reach me through email at dawn.whipple@cobbk12.org, through the Remind App messenger, or you can schedule a virtual Zoom meeting using this form. You do not need any special equipment for this app. I will send you an email confirmation with your scheduled appointment.

Hello 9th Lit Scholars, 
Thank you for your patience and flexibility during this time. On Wed and Thursday I will host an online check in session on Zoom during your scheduled period times.  Details will be listed on Schoology. In addition, we are starting our final unit, Coming of Age in Challenging Times. In this unit, we will read our class novel, Animal Farm and you will get an opportunity to read a published novel of your choice.   

We will end this unit with a culminating project. If you have missed previous assignments and you would like to submit work to improve your grade it is NOT TOO LATE!

Digital Learning Week 4...Everything Must Change

​This week you will work on completing any missing assignments from Digital Learning Week 4. You will submit the final copy of your argumentative paper that we began before Spring Break. In addition, you will create your own opinion editorial.  This is a form of writing that typical appears in newspapers and magazines and demonstrates the writer’s deep opinion about a particular topic or issue.  More information can be found on Schoology.
 
NEW GRADING POLICY
Moving forward you have two options for grading. You can accept your grade as of March 13, 2020, as your final grade or you can have the work that you have completed and moving forward to count towards improving your grade.  Either way, your grade will NOT be any lower than it is now and any grades placed in Synergy will be used to improve your grade. I strongly advise that you work on earning the highest possible grade but this choice is up to you.
