Ninth graders finished stories based on "Shame" and "Eleven" and then started flashcards for the test on Monday. Your flashcards should have the following information on them: word, definition, part of speech, sentence, and a picture. Your test Monday will be on the 30 words from the "I Have a Dream" sheet and the first ten words on a "Lesson Before Dying" sheet.
Juniors discussed the basics of writing a persuasive essay, as they will be writing one on Monday for a test grade. (Remember to bring your watch.) We also took a quote quiz on Frederick Douglass as well as submitted annotations. We also discussed the Wall Street Journal essay 'What Wrong with the Teenage Brain?" Next due dates are February 7th for the ADQ sheet, and February 14th for your commencement speech. Embrace the opportunity to work in a prudent fashion.
Have a good weekend!
