Tuesday, February 1 and Wednesday, February 2

Freshmen: Today we introduced Poetry Out Loud. Have eight poems read and a copy of your top three choices for next Monday. We also discussed 2.2 - the "vital center" of Romeo and Juliet. Reread it, and conclude Act II for Monday's seminar - you should have at least one note per chapter. We also posed the question, "If you could do one thing to change America for the better, what would it be?" You are to answer that prompt in a cause-and-effect essay, and you must cite in either block or in-text form some outside research that supports your thesis. This is due next block period. Identify the type of lead and conclusion you are using in your header.

Sophomores: Today we introduced Poetry Out Loud. Have eight poems read and a copy of your top three choices for next Monday. We also began The Kite Runner. Chapters 1-7 are due for next block period with two notes per chapter.

CNF: Today we began your Childhood Dreams presentations. Get The World Without Us by Alan Wiseman (he truly is a wise man, but not a wiseguy) for next week.
