Ninth graders received and discussed their most recent tests, read some of the Odyssey, (those naughty Sirens!) and received a mere puzzle for homework.
Juniors discussed "Dumpster Diving" and wrote a piece of flash fiction in which trash was a motif, theme, or character. Tomorrow we will discuss rhetorical analysis. Kaffir Boy through page 304 is due November 21st; your final version of your omnivore/carnivore essay is due December 1st.
BTW - Today apparently we voted on which candidate for Mr. Bellaire has the "best pockets," "best pockets" being, from what I can infer, a euphemism for "posterior," "butt," "derriere," or whatever word one typically uses to describe one's gluteus maximus. I am curious about your thoughts on this matter. Is this contest harmless fun designed to promote school spirit? Exploitation for charity? A tempest in a teapot? Does it make a difference that this is a contest to judge male physical attributes, not female physical attributes? Just curious.
How wonderful that life is never boring.
