Week of 10/3-10/7
Hello Students,
Tomorrow as you know, we will hopefully be finishing the movie Beowulf (I do not have the TV for Tuesday). Also, tomorrow you will be receiving a vocabulary assignment that is due THURSDAY! Tuesday and Wednesday we will be doing discussion-group work as well as large class discussions on both the epic poem and the film adaptation. Wednesday, we will begin writing a critical review of the movie's portrayal of the epic poem Beowulf. Friday we will have a vocabulary quiz after going over the information in the vocabulary assignment on Thursday. See you all tomorrow!
Monday: Beowulf Film (ending)
Tuesday: Discuss Literature vs. Film and writing a critical review
Wednesday: Beginning College Essays- Heroes
Thursday: Vocabulary assignment due/ Vocabulary Activity
Friday: Vocabulary Quiz/ College Essays
***DUE TO TESTING: THERE IS A DIFFERENT SCHEDULE. Periods 2 & 9 will not be meeting with me on Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. Therefore you shall still be responsible and hand in the vocabulary packet on Friday. We will still be having a quiz, but most likely it will be at the end of the period after we do a review and work through the packet as a class to discuss the definitions of the assigned vocabulary terms.
Over weekend, you will have to find a college essay topic of your choice, and complete some pre-writing tasks, brainstorming, and a first rough draft. should be approximately one page in length.

Welcome!
Welcome Seniors, to Ms. Enste's English Blog!
Hopefully you found the page okay after receiving my email! Here you will be able to find information about the class, such as weekly syllabi, assignments, due dates, and upcoming projects and events. I advise you to create your own blog, as we will have future assignments that are to be completed electronically online. I will update the blog weekly, usually during the weekend, and you should check back on Sunday evenings to make sure you have completed all necessary assignments from the previous week, as well as look at the upcoming week's syllabus. We are all going to have a very successful year here at Campus High School! I will update links for you as resources to help with your writing assignments and bibliographies, as well as helpful college resources. You can find these resources on the right hand side- just click the appropriate tabs.
Please, take a look around the blog and click the links on the right under pages. There you will find emails that I have collected thus far. This blog will benefit you in numerous ways, however; I have listed class emails so that if you are absent, and I have not updated the blog with assignments (which I hope never happens, but I do make mistakes), you will still be able to get the assignment from another classmate via email.
As majority of you know, today in class we began Formative Assessment #1. Most students took it home to finish- DO NOT FORGET, IT IS DUE FRIDAY (extra credit to those savvy typers!). I hope you all have a wonderful day off tomorrow, get some rest!
Friday and Monday we will be finishing the rest of the Beowulf film. Tuesday and Wednesday of next week we will discuss both the ending of Beowulf, as well as the film's adaptation. Prepare to discuss some other novels/books that have been turned into movies. What is different? How have they changed?
What I would like you to do in the meantime is create your own login for Blogger and become a follower of this blog- It will benefit you as I continue to post more and update important information for you regarding reading, writing, and college!
Also, I would advise you to create a PROFESSIONAL email account ASAP. Some students already have one, and if it is your name (first, last or last, first) you are okay, but if you have slang, several numbers, nicknames, or other things, BEFORE you begin to apply to college (which is quickly approaching), you need to create a more appropriate email address.
More to come to this blog! Check back daily! See you Friday!
If any of you have questions, please email me at : ashley.enste@gmail.com!
