Students in Ms. Dickson's ninth grade English classes enjoy acting out the opening sword fight scene of The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet. They also like getting dressed up for the Capulet Ball with the masks they made.

For parents and students to keep informed about Ms. Dickson's English I and Advanced English I classes, they should use the Blackboard link on the school's website. Parent username is us_uniotoparent and password is abc123. Students may use their own usernames and passwords to log in. They should always check Blackboard if they are absent so that they may have their work caught up when they return to school. Parents and students may also use Progress Book to learn what grades and missing assignments the students have. If the parents do not have their own usernames and passwords, they should contact Mrs. Winks at the high school main office.

A Buckeye all the way, Mr. Lafferty invited students at Unioto to enter his annual score-guessing game for the Ohio State-Michigan game. He rewarded the winners, Austin McGraw and Ryan Jacobsen, with Payday candy bars.

Patrick Henry's "Speech in the Virginia Convention"

Mr. Flannery's English III classes have been studying the rhetorical device antitheis through Patrick Henry's "Speech in the Virginia Convention." Pictured are some of his juniors in tri-cornered hats as they deliver their renditions. Cody Egner delivers the last paragraph, "Give me liberty or give me death!" Wes Bouillion follows suit. Then Cory Porter portrays Patrick Henry while Wes Bouillion represents an American citizen under the harsh and tyrannical rule of the British.

Beowulf and Grendel

Following their study of Beowulf and Grendel, Mrs. Wettersten’s English IV students created their versions of the monster, Grendel. The ferocious beasts were displayed on the stage in the auditeria, and this year several of the monsters were displayed on the school grounds over the Halloween weekend.
