Descriptive Paragraphs

Students in English IA are working on writing descriptive paragraphs. Their first one was a description of a place, and their second one is about a person. Any guesses as to what the third one will be?

Missing Items

If any of you know where the Cardinals left their bats, please inform team management before Game 6.

Recording Industry

Seniors in Media Studies began perusing the chapter in their text covering the recording industry. This is my favorite chapter in the course since I have a lot of personal experience to share. I hope they find the chapter as informative and interesting as I do.

Field Trip

Art Club went to the Art Institute of Chicago yesterday, and I got to drive! Leaving Chicago in rush hour traffic in a mini bus was a bit challenging. Seeing Van Gogh's self-portrait and Grant Wood's American Gothic in person was a memorable experience. We also had one of the best lunches I've ever experienced at the Wild Berry Pancake cafe'.

To Kill A Mockingbird

We just finished the novel last week and are finishing the movie today in English II. After the movie, we will be starting to work on improving essay writing skills. Of course, the first essay will be focused on To Kill A Mockingbird, either the book or the movie.

Lock It Down!

Come on, Cardinals! Bring your bats to the game tonight and get this thing over with!

Mr. Davis Visit

Mr. Davis took time from his busy schedule to speak to the seniors in Media Studies today. His presentation covered nine hot new careers and what seniors should be doing right now to prepare for college. The session was very informative, and I hope the students follow his sound advice. He plans to do the same presentation with a different group of seniors in Intro to Speech in the near future.
