Freshmen: Today we began an in-class essay that is due at the end of the period on Thursday. It is a cause and effect essay that answers the prompt, "If you could do one thing to change America for the better, what would it be?" In your essay you need to have a clear thesis (what it is you would change), use cause and effect well (i.e. show how your change would improve America), and use one of the lead and conclusion techniques we have studied this year. Your homework is to read for 20 minutes each night this week and have your Grandparent Project finished for Friday.
CNF: Today we began the film Murder on a Sunday Morning and will discuss it in the context of Chapter 4 from Freakonomics and the Gladwell piece on Broken Windows Theory on Friday.
Basketball: Check out is today at 2:00 with our game at Riverview Junior High at 4:00. There is no return bus.
