Today in class we did the following:
Two SAT QODs.
A reading quiz on the first 53 pages of Kaffir Boy. We also discussed the reading.
We also discussed upcoming assignments. Tomorrow you will submit a paragraph with ten vocabulary words. The words must come from the list I gave you on Friday, October 26, 2012. A copy of that handout is printed in the previous entry, and it is printed in blue.
You received a packet with several articles, the links to which are copied below:

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/28/opinion/sunday/Bruni-Obamas-Squandered-Advantages.html
You must read and annotate the foregoing articles by the beginning of class on Friday, November 2, 2012.
On Tuesday, November 6, 2012, you will write an essay using your articles as sources for your arguments.
On Wednesday, November 7, 2012, you will have read and annotated through page 119 of Kaffir Boy. You will have a quote quiz, and I may grade your annotations.
Have fun, work hard, and learn a lot!
