Freshmen:
Discussed a few more issues in the first chapters of LOTF. (The Beastie, description of the fire, Piggy's rant, the mulberry-birthmark boy's fate, Ralph's growing frustration, Simon's weirdness, etc.)
Then, we began reading chapter 4 together. We'll finish reading this tomorrow after the vocab quiz.
HW: Study for tomorrow's vocab quiz!

AP Lit:
Well, 3rd period was weird with our lock down drill, so we only got to a few pieces of this. Here is what we did during 6th... we looked back at the satire terms and discussed briefly how they apply to "A Modest Proposal". I handed out several things to read in preparation for Candide, including study questions to take notes on as you read. Then students went to the library to check out copies of Candide. (If you were unable to check your book out since you have unturned materials, here is a link to an online version of Candide so you can stay caught up.)
HW: Read the introduction and bio I handed out in class. Read chapters 1-5 and be ready to discuss your first impressions tomorrow.
