Freshmen: Today our focus was on your haibun and on our next writing project. We will participate in the annual Letters About Literature contest. Tonight your homework is to think about their prompt ("How did an author's work change the way you view yourself or your world?") and come to class tomorrow prepared to write in response to the prompt. Read for 20 minutes tonight and work on Membean.
Sophomores: Today we continued our study of irony and read a short story, "Ah Bah's Money." We also did a short peer-review session on your Letters About Literature essay; you need to revise and improve your piece tonight and bring your best copy to class tomorrow to submit to the contest. You also need to print and fill out the entry coupon (especially the parent's signature), and that can be found at http://read.gov/documents/entry-guidelines-2014.pdf. Remember to work on Membean.
Honors Sophomores: Today we studied irony; finish The Alchemist and be prepared to discuss Coehlo's use of irony. Remember to work on Membean.
CNF: We continued studying the "winning the tournament" concept through Hoop Dreams.
