Ninth graders completed sentence stems today, confirmed definitions of a few more words, started homework, and started reading Dr. King's "I Have a Dream" speech. Homework for tomorrow is to write a story with the first 12 words on the blue vocabulary sheet.
Juniors read two articles about the controversy over the MLK monument and, generally, the power of diction. Tomorrow, you will have a vocabulary check on the ENTIRE green vocabulary sheet and a quote quiz on the first 239 pages of Malcolm X. You (first period excepted) also received a review sheet for Monday's test, which I copied below. Below the review sheet is a link to sentences containing the word "existential."
