Freshmen: Today we continued to focus on division and classification. We read Dr. King's essay in Models for Writers about ways of meeting oppression. For your 20 minutes of reading, read the essay "The Four Types of Presidents." There will be a short quiz on it Thursday. Then, your homework is to write a division and classification essay that focuses on an interesting topic. One suggestion you may want to take is to write an essay that focuses on either different kinds of teachers, or teaching styles, here at Judge, or on different student groups, perhaps similar to what we see Melinda do early in Speak. However, remember to always be respectful in your tone and observations. You are not limited to this idea - you can write about whatever you wish, as long as you are using the rhetorical device well. This typed essay is due next block period (1/20 periods 2 and 4, 1/21 period 6).
Sophomores: We tried to finish Oedipus the King in class; if we didn't, that's your homework. Finish Chapter 8 for vocab homework.
