Thursday

"A" day - 10/9/08

Period 1: Freshmen
SSR, then we spent a few minutes discussing and reviewing chapter 1 of Of Mice and Men. The new assignment was to read chapter 2 and complete the study guide. Homework is to finish up whatever you didn't get done in class.

Period 5: AP Lit.
I handed out essay guidelines, tips and the scoring guide I will be using to grade your essays this year, including the essay on alienation which is due next week (rough draft in class on Tuesday, final by Thursday). After that, we had a bit of time to get into another discussion about Holden and his odd views of Jesus, his proclivity for yelling and his general increasing frustration and malaise about life. What a phony!

Period 7: Shakespeare
I collected your news story accounts of Macbeth events. Then the class had time to read 4.3 and answer some questions about the end of this Act. Questions are due next class period, if you didn't finish them during class time.
