Tomorrow's Friday? (kind of)

Hello, everyone!

AP students did the following today:

Submitted their annotations of Sherman Alexie's "Superman and Me"; 

Read Declarations of Independence; and 

Two classes read David Sedaris's "Big Boy."

You also wrote a page in response to a warm-up, which is copied directly below:

Warm-up - October 1, 2014

“’Books,’ I say to them. ‘Books,’ I say.  I throw my weight against their locked doors.  The door holds.  I am smart.  I am arrogant.  I am lucky.  I am trying to save our lives” (Sherman Alexie).

Please write a page in response to the foregoing quote or portions thereof.  Also ponder and respond to this question:  what activity is life-saving for you?

Tomorrow please bring your TIB essays.

Seventh period organized your binders, compiled a vocabulary list, and read through page 124 of Rats Saw God.  You will have a quote quiz through page 156 next Tuesday.  You will also have vocabulary homework due next Thursday.
