Hump Day!

Scholars, pay close attention to the following dates and information:

First of all many congratulations to fourth period - every student turned in his or her ADQ checklist - well done!  BTW, I haven't seen sixth or seventh periods yet, so there is still hope.

Today we had a vocabulary check on the last twenty words of the vocabulary sheet.  We also began discussing the In Cold Blood trial.

Tomorrow, 20th, we will focus on trial prep.

Friday, 21st, you will have read and annotated the Mockingbird excerpt.  Fascinating, if I do say so myself.

Monday, 24th, you will submit your vocabulary sheet at the end of class.  We will have a multiple choice test on Monday.  You must use your ICB book, and you may use your second vocabulary sheet.  You may NOT use your first sheet.  (This is different from what I told first period - please take note.)

Tuesday, 25th, you will have finished ICB and annotated it.  Can't wait to read those annotations!  We will also draw to see what side we represent at trial (defense or prosecution).

Wednesday, 26th, trial prep.

Thursday, 27th, please have read and annotated the two pieces regarding the Leopold and Loeb murder case.  Annotate Darrow's argument for rhetorical devices (and their effects) and the other piece mainly for information.

Finally, congratulations to the following Scholastic winners:

Daniel Yun
Daniel Lee
Caroline Bybee

Well done!
