W.O.W. -- Hero/Heroine =
one of distinguished courage or ability, admired by brave deeds and noble qualities.
*Heroes – From now until the end of the semester, we will be looking at different
everyday heroes, as well as meeting some heroes from Greek Mythology, like Odysseus, our cunning
and brave hero from “The Odyssey.” We looked at Christopher Reeves’ life today – from onscreen
superhero (Superman) to a paralytic helping others until his life ended short from complications from his
fall from a horse during an equestrian competition.
*Benchmark Test and Test Prep” – This is our quarterly test administered to all Moore Public
Schools 9th graders. There is nothing to study. Students just need to be prepared by getting plenty of
rest, eating a sensible breakfast/lunch, and bringing a pencil to class! 
*”Divergent” Page2Screen Selection – We are finishing our study on the conflicts and symbolism
in “Divergent” this week. We also discussed how Tris is an example of our female “heroine” in this
series!
*October “Seeing Double” Worksheet – Students will use clues to unscramble words all
having two double letters, like “Halloween.”
