Tuesday

Ninth graders received a new vocabulary list today.  Homework tonight is to write 10 compound sentences, one for each new word.  Write compound sentences with commas and fanboys, please.  Remeber that I will give FIVE points of extra credit for consistent and conscientious attendance at NHS tutorials Tuesday and Wednesday at lunch.

We will finish Dead Man Walking tomorrow and start a bit of Kaffir Boy.

Juniors discussed plans for Mr. Mathabane's visit.  Please be thinking of how you would like to contribute.  I will take names tomorrow.

We also discussed the rhetorical analysis of the AP Exam and scored student samples.  Good stuff.

Dates to remember:

Tomorrow:  rhetorical analysis
Thursday, April 5th: read and annotate through page 230 of Brother, I'm Dying.  Bring five typed discussion questions to class.  Each question should have a page reference.  Two questions should relate to any page(s) 1-123, and three questions should relate to page(s) 124-230.
Monday, April 9th - Dr. Mathabane
Tuesday, April 10th - finish Brother, I'm Dying

All for now!
