Ninth graders submitted their homework today. We read in class two stories: Ana's and Cole H's. Ana's was awesome and even boasted a (censored) curse word; Cole's was wonderful and ended with a cliffhanger ...
You also answered STAAR multiple choice questions on Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech and completed sentence stems with vocabulary words. Your homework for tonight is to finish the sentence stems if you did not do so in class.
Juniors analyzed three headlines and accompanying photos relating to the State of the Union speech of last night. We then discussed Charles Murray's article "The New American Divide" in conjunction with Paul Krugman's "America's Unlevel Field." Which is the better written article? With which thesis do you agree more?
"One Percent Education" is due, read and annotated, Friday. You need to finish reading and annotating Malcolm X by Monday, which is the date of our quote test!
