OBJECTIVES:

 Students will complete a multiple intelligence survey in order to identify specific skill sets and learning styles.
 Students will record notes and begin to practice Disciplinary Learning Structures in order to prepare for habits of thinking and learning that will comprise the nucleus of the English 9 curriculum.
