Ninth grade ate cupcakes! We also read the "I Have a Dream" speech and wrote with metaphors, alliteration, anaphoras, and epistrophes. In other words, ninth graders did great work on a junior AP level today.
We have a test on Monday on the first 12 words on the blue sheet, as well as the following words: diminutive, feat, pacify, hasty, harrowing, and systematic.
Juniors took a vocabulary check and a quote quiz on pages 111 through 239 of Malcolm X. We also discussed our reactions to Mr-inmate-Minister-Satan-Savior-Detroit Red-Malcolm Little-X.
You will have an AP style,multiple choice test on Monday. Please know the words and terms on your orange and green sheets. You will not be able to use them on the test. Knowledge is power.
Your penultimate draft of your commencement speech is due Tuesday, January 24, and, on Tuesday, you will have also read and annotated the Krugman article that I distributed today. For those of you who missed class today, here is the link to the Krugman article:
Finally, your next assignment in Malcolm X will probably be due January 30 or 31, and it will probably be through page 389, so you will likely want to start reading now or soon.
Have a great weekend!
