Hello Scholars:
Today in class you received back your graded First Kaffir Boy list and your graded vocabulary puzzle quiz.
We also discussed very briefly the history of South Africa. Terms, people, and events to know include the following: Boer Wars, the pass laws, the Bantu Education Act, the Sharpeville Massacre of 1960, the Soweto Uprising of 1976, Steve Biko, Donald Woods, Nelson Mandela, Bishop Desmond Tutu, and the Truth and Reconciliation Commission.
Tomorrow please come to class ready to share your knowledge of Yom Kippur.
Monday, September 20, 2010, you will have a vocabulary test on Lists #1 and #2 (aka the first Kaffir Boy list), AND your most recent vocabulary assignment is due.
Tuesday, September 21, 2010, Part One of Kaffir Boy, read and annotated, is due. We will have a quote quiz.
I will collect PSAT money before school, at lunch, after school, through September 22, 2010. The cost is $15, cash or check payable to BHS or Bellaire High School. Remember to give me a private shout-out if you are on free or reduced lunch. If you are, the PSAT is free!
See you tomorrow!
