Ninth graders turned in homework, wrote sentences from stems, took a reading quiz, and read from A Lesson Before Dying. Homework tonight is to write sentences with words 11-20 from the Lesson Before Dying list#2 conforming to the following: Two compound sentences with a semicolon; two compound sentences with a comma and a fanboy, two similes, two sentences with alliteration, and two anaphoras. You also need to finish chapter two on your own.
Juniors finished their discussion on "Daze and Confused." You also wrote a play featuring Shelby Steele, and, perhaps, Malcolm X, Dr. Martin Luther King, Charles Murray, or Paul Krugman. Tomorrow please read and have annotated the two Brooks packets as noted in yesterday's entry.
Penultimately: The commencement speech is not due until Wednesday, February 15, 2012.
Lastly: Our next book is Mountains Beyond Mountains, which I will sell to you for $14.40. First reading assignment will be approximately 100 pages and will be due on Friday, February 17, 2012.
