Scholars,
Today we watched a 60 Minutes segment about the Facebook Revolution in Tunisia. Please ponder this real-life phenomenon in relation to 1984. If you were in eighth grade, and your teacher asked you to draw a Venn diagram of the Tunisian Protests and Winston's rebellion in 1984, how interlocking would your circles be?
We also took a multiple choice quiz? practice exercise? on Goldstein's book. Afternoon classes were a bit rushed. However, if you are nice, extremely nice, to me, I might, just might, give you a little more time to work on this next Tuesday when our classes are 17 minutes long.
Tomorrow we will enter the magical world of TAKS review. Friday you will write a persuasive essay and receive your graded books back.
Please peruse your vocabulary lists nightly. Learn, don't memorize, your words.
We will close with a quote from Albert Einstein, of which I became aware through Bybee:
"Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing it is stupid."
