Hello, smart students!
Please peruse the following what what happened in class today:
Fourth and Fifth Periods learned briefly the meanings of ethos, pathos, and logos, the classical rhetorical appeals. You also took a quote quiz through chapter 15 of Into the Wild. You then wrote an essay arguing, defending, and qualifying the following quote:
"Rather than love, than money, than fame, give me the truth." Henry David Thoreau.
You also received Progress Reports, which you will return to me tomorrow parentally signed with a phone number where I can reach your parental unit.
Speaking of tomorrow, you will review PSAT passages. We will have a test on Friday, which will consist of a few PSAT passages and a few questions on the end of Into the Wild.
Seventh and Eighth Periods reviewed vocabulary, read short stories ("The Other Pin" (7th period) and "Angus Bethune" (8th period)) and wrote on the same topic as did the morning classes - is truth the most important virtue or aspect of life, or is something else (fame, money, love) more important?
I will receive make-up work until 2:00 tomorrow afternoon.
