What happened Friday?

Friday you all took a test that some found to be really hard and some found to be okay.  I will give you a few minutes to ask questions in class tomorrow and then 30 minutes in which to finish this test.

I also gave an article, "Dumpster Diving," to read and annotate by the beginning of class on Tuesday.  If you do not have this article for any reason, you may print it from the link below:

I also gave you all a writing assignment (a satire!)  (on Phillis Wheatley HIgh School!), which is copied and pasted below for your review.

Out of class (i.e., homework) Essay

 

Write a satire about some aspect of Phillis Wheatley High School that you would like to see improved.  

 Minimum length: 1,000 words.   

Your satire is due October 23, 2012.   

Remember that a satire mocks an ill of society in order to promote societal improvement.   

Remember that your satire may be Horatian or Juvenalian.

 

Be creative and have fun!  Make this a piece of which you can be proud.

 

See you Tuesday!
