Ninth graders received a new vocabulary sheet today with accompanying assignments. Tonight's homework is to write compound sentences or a coherent paragraph with the following words: decree, beacon, sear, captivity, manacles, and prosperity. Please remember also that your Maus questions are due tomorrow!
Juniors discussed and submitted annotations on "Letter from a Birmingham Jail." Tomorrow we will have a vocabulary quiz on the first 30 words on your green review sheet. Tomorrow also please bring your poem to class and turn it in to turnitin.com by 11:59 tomorrow night. The registration information for turnitin.com is on the blog entry for August 29, 2011.
Malcolm X (through chapter 13) is due ... Friday. Read well, deeply, and with tons of imagination.
Have a great night!
You should keep postponing that Malcolm X reading due date.
