PE Example
Many students have not been receiving full credit on their PE packets.  I have a PE Packet example I have created to show you what a full credit PE packet looks like.  Please make sure to closely follow all directions. You must have 2 years of PE to graduate, if you receive a D or an F you will have to take the semester of PE over junior year.  Meaning MORE PE PACKETS!!!

Old Man & the Sea Quotes
Today you will look through the novel to find appropriate quotes about Santiago's character in Old Man and the Sea.  Please use the following quote handout to list at least 3quotes for each of the 3 character traits listed.  This paper will make writing your final essay much easier if you do a good job.  Please put the effort in today to help you in the long run.  Think about the traits honor, courage, and perseverance within Santiago, which we have discussed throughout our reading.  Think of ways he shows these characteristics then find quotes from the book that reveal these qualities about him.  This handout will be due this Friday (12/4).

Your final quiz on the reading will be this Friday as well.  Remember to read through thoroughly and make sure you understand what is happening, reread if necessary.  Also, be sure to look up any words you are unfamiliar with or are not sure you could accurately define.
