Tuesday, September 9 and Wednesday, September 10

Freshmen: Today our focus was on figurative language, specifically metaphor, simile, and personification. Your task is to revise your previous three poems for this concept, and craft a fourth poem that adheres to all the principles we have studied so far. Also, please read for 20 minutes tonight and Wednesday, and bring in your money for Membean.

Sophomores: Today we focused on writing a personal narrative essay about a journey you have taken, either internally or externally. You are to take your rough draft home, revise it, and bring it to class as a typed, finished draft on Friday. Also due Friday is your This I Believe worksheet. Due Thursday is everything through (and including) chapter 45 in Life of Pi. Please bring in your money for Membean if you haven't yet.

Sophomore Honors: Today we focused on writing a personal narrative essay about a journey you have taken, either internally or externally. We turned in the rough draft of this essay. Due Thursday are the chapters from How to Read Literature Like a Professor and the accompanying essay. Due Friday is your This I Believe worksheet, and you should finish Part II of Life of Pi for 9/19. Please bring in your money for Membean if you haven't yet.

CNF: Today we took an Implicit Association Test in preparation for reading Chapter 2 from Blink. Please go to https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/iatdetails.html and take one of the other IAT's and record the results.
