Ninth graders had a wonderful day today. You submitted homework, confirmed definitions of our next group of words, started homework, and read Maus. Your Maus study questions were due today. Homework for tomorrow is to write compound sentences and/or a coherent paragraph with the following words: languish, heir, unalienable, insufficient, hallowed, and exile.
Juniors took a vocabulary check today and read and submitted their sublime poetry. I loved every minute of it. Please note above NEW deadlines for everyone but Erik B.:
Friday, January 20, 2012 - Malcolm X read and annotated through chapter 13 and vocabulary check on entire sheet;
Monday, January 23, 2012 - test (to be discussed later); and
Tuesday, January 24, 2012 - penultimate draft of your commencement speech.
Deadlines for Erik B.: All work is due toute de suite!!!!!!
Have a great day on this gorgeous day!
"Toute de suite" translates (quite literally) to "around three left corners towards the end of the semester" which is clearly an idiomatic expression pertaining to the fact that, because students work so hard and are so... sagacious, all work is due "exactly when it is due for all others."
ReplyDeleteAlso if certain students were to write a certain penultimate draft of a certain speech which commences a certain event for any date that is within the next two hours, it would clearly go against the instruction given by a certain (very young!) teacher which was to NOT dawdle about and to instead actually compose a masterpiece within a reasonable amount of time.
