Welcome Weekend!

TAs/ INTERNS

Your forms were due by 3pm today unless you spoke to me about needing other arrangements. I begun the process of placing students with teachers and hope to have students begin working alongside teachers as of Monday.
If you forgot your binder or for any other reason do not have or know what you need to hand in asap, I have provided a link below. These are all the forms that were in your binders you received this week.

You are reading "Ch. 2" for homework tonight in the Perrine's textbook (sorry I don't have a page # but it is in the preceding pages of The Destructors).
There are no reading questions.
 If you don't have a copy or a textbook, I have posted copies on the wall outside my door, perhaps you can get your reading done early Monday morning.
Reminder: there are only a few of you who need to get your planner signed (great work!), get a journal and a lock if you do not have one,  I will be checking for these on Monday.
Also, get your form signed for the field trip next Wednesday.

Is Grammar Gruesome or Glorious?

TAs and Interns, please continue to complete your application process today.
Note: Mr Bennett is also interested in having a TA this semester.

Please finish reading "The Destructors" and answer questions 1,2,4 on page 124
Students who do not have a textbook yet, or who forgot their textbook at school (tsk, tsk) can find the story RIGHT HERE

The questions are as follows:
1. Who is the protagonist in this story--Trevor, Blackie, or the gang? Who or what is the antagonist? Identify the conflicts in the story.

2. How is suspense created?

4. Discuss the gang's motivations, taking into account A) the age and beauty of the house, B) Blackie's reasons for not going home after losing his position of leadership, C) the seriousness with which the boys work at their task, and their loss of concern over their leadership, D) the burning of the pound notes, E) their considerations for Old Misery, F) the lorry driver's reaction. What characteristics do the gang's two named exploits--pinching free rides and destroying the house--have in common?
