Ninth graders finished reading "I Have a Dream." We also finished defining the words on the blue sheet. You also have homework tonight according to the following requirements: A story with the last 13 words on the blue sheet AND the following: Three examples of alliteration; One metaphor; One simile; One anaphora; and One compound sentence. Please make sure that you story has all of the foregoing features. The stories are due at the beginning of class tomorrow.
Juniors submitted their penultimate drafts of their commencement speeches today. We also discussed Paul Krugman's article "America's Unlevel Playing Field" and evaluated Krugman's rhetorical style for effectiveness.
Tomorrow please have read and annotated the Wall Street Journal article "New American Divide." For Wednesday, please read and annotate the article 'One Percent Education." If you misplace this article, the link is as follows: http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/22/education/edlife/one-percent-education.html?_r=1&pagewanted=all
Please also finish Malcolm X for this coming Monday. Smells like a quote TEST on Monday to me. Don't worry about reading the Epilogue for now.
Have a wonderful day!
