October 23

Freshmen: Today we read two essays about spelling and discussed it's importance and whether or not spelling was an accurate indicator of intelligence. If you missed this, please read them tomorrow during the first ten minutes of class. Finish through "Wishbone" in Speak by Monday and get Sleeping Dogs Don't Lay ASAP.

Sophomores: Today we discussed the difference between wisdom, intelligence, and knowledge. We then did a close reading of our text to find places where Geel Piet or Doc espouse wisdom. For homework, you were to pick one of the five pieces of wisdom your group chose and illustrate it. The rubric is the statement must be truly wise and be visually appealing. You will present yours tomorrow. For Monday, finish chapter 22, and for November 3, finish the book. Get The Alchemist ASAP.
