Summer Work
Dear incoming tenth graders,
Upon reflection and discussion, your tenth grade teachers have opted NOT to assign summer work for LA3 and LA3 Honors. During normal times, we work with your ninth grade teachers to prep you for summer work through explanation of protocols, assignments, and materials. We also field questions so that you leave school comfortable and prepared for summer work. None of this was done due to the abrupt ending of the school year. As ninth and tenth grade expectations are dramatically different, we’re opting out of summer work.

Week 2
Students, we will continue to practice the essential learning standards we have been working on in class. This includes reading comprehension of fiction and nonfiction, writing and reasoning, as well as grammar skills. In addition to the reading assignments this week, please continue practicing grammar skills by visiting Khan Academy Reading and Writing. In addition, you should be reading something for enjoyment whether that be fiction or non-fiction. I have already read two books: one a page-turning murder mystery and the other a psychological thriller!
Assignments in Google Classroom: You may use your textbook or the links provided for the stories. Questions for each selection are in the text and under the selection.
