#BookWormWednesday returns and today we will be hearing from Emma!
Favorite Book: The Trials of Apollo
Author: Rick Riordan
Similar Books: Magnus Chase, Kane Chronicles, and Heroes of Olympus
“I recommend this book because the series offers action, drama, and a vast knowledge of mythology. People who like mythology and action will probably enjoy this book!
The location of my selfie was in the high school library. I chose this location because it's by all the other Rick Riordan books.”
Thank you for sharing Emma! We love hearing from all of Ms. Madden's English 10 readers! #HSDGoTigers

An additional 36 Hillsboro High School students can now call themselves novelists after participating in National Novel Writing Month this November!
National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo) is a national writing event, where the challenge is to complete an entire rough draft of a novel in just 30 days.
Sophomores in Ms. Madden's English 10 classes collectively wrote novels totaling an astounding 766,338 words! That’s over three quarters of a million words with an average of 21,287 words per student. To put that into perspective, 20,000 words is roughly 40 pages double spaced! #HSDGoTigers #TigerProud
As a final assessment of their technical writing unit, seniors in Ms. Madden's English 12 class are making original Lego structures and creating step-by-step, technical instruction manuals for them complete with photos! #HSDGoTigers
These #HSDGoTigers have been learning about the Six Pillars of Character such as: responsibility, trustworthiness, respect, fairness, caring and citizenship!
They focused on each pillar separately then they finished out the week by creating door decorations for the residents at Milestone in order to brighten their spirits during the holiday season. What a great way to demonstrate caring and citizenship! #TigerProud
