The tenth grade Geometry class is working on drawing parts of circles and learning tangent and secant of circles. They also just finished a unit on Trigonometry – ratios of right triangles.

As Evangel’s sophomores worked their way through Dickens’s, they discovered his masterful use of satire (prose or verse that uses wit in the form of irony, innuendo, or derision to criticize and/or ridicule humanity into improvement) t. In celebration of completing some of Dicken’s works, students were given the task of writing their own piece of satire. Topics range from gang violence and abortion to the school uniform and peer pressure. After undergoing a couple of workshop sessions, students will have the opportunity to see their pieces in our very own class publication, Satire Magazine. (Each sophomore class will have their own edition.) I hope this will serve not only as a memento of a job well done, but also as encouragement to persevere through any situation that may at first appear daunting. For when they decide to push on, they will undoubtedly find themselves in the midst of an undeniable victory. “With God, all things are possible!”
March is the month that tests many things especially discipline and heart. Winter is waning and the end of school getting closer. Students must get recharged out of the winter blues, be persevering at staying on task with schoolwork as well as deal with the usual winter illnesses. March is also an exciting month because of the Academic Fair, March 19th. This is a great time for students to shine who are not always the top of the class academically. It allows creativity and performance skills to blossom. It even benefits those students the most who are willing to work as a team with parent and teachers to study, write about, and present their topic and project of interest. We can all benefit from remembering: Galatians 6:9,”Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” and Ecclesiastes 9:10,”Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.”

The students have been discussing the Industrial Revolution to start off the second half of the year. They learned what the causes and effects of the Industrial Revolution were. We had quite a few classroom discussions about how life is so different today because of the advancements made during this time period. Students looked at primary documents from people who lived during this time period and we discussed the feelings and hardships that these people experienced. As a summative assessment the students had to write their own newspaper. In the newspaper they all had to write why the Industrial Revolution is considered a revolution, but then they got the chance to choose from four other creative writing assignments to add to their newspaper. The students got to show a bit of creativity and originality while at the same time still displaying their understanding of this time period.

We did a project in Bible class where the students wrote down things they wanted to see changed in their own lives. We took the requests and put them in an envelope for them to receive at the end of the school year. This will allow them to see if there has been any growth or change from now to end of the school year, and also for students to see the powerful effects of prayer!
God Bless,

This week 10th grade will be discussing the Beatitude “Blessed Are The Pure In Heart”. We are learning that the only way we can attain righteousness, is by faith in Jesus Christ. My challenge for the students is to pursue purity through looking into the word, receiving daily cleansing of sin, and allowing the Holy Spirit to work in their lives.

As the second quarter winds down, high school students have been busy in the computer lab. The activity ranges from writing papers for classes to last minute printing for assignments that are due. In computer lab, the students have been learning the ins and outs of Google Maps. Google Maps is a program developed by Google to assist people in looking at maps. The most common use of Google Maps is acquiring directions, but there is much more to the program. The student have learned how to use all the special features including the Street View setting which lets users see destinations as if they were standing on the street. Many students found it interesting to see their home or their favorite location around the city. Technology keeps improving and we strive to keep the students knowledge improving as well.
Mr. Miller
We are currently studying the parts of the human body and what to do and say in case of a medical emergency, what to do when you are in a doctor’s office and what information should you give to get services. We are also learning the differences in the medical services in the US and that of many Hispanic countries.

Geometry students have spent the last few weeks preparing for the Math A Regents. They have also finished a study on transformations by reflecting images, and sliding and rotating them. They also worked with photos to enlarge and reduce the images (dilations).
