Freshmen: Today we had our final seminar on Speak. You should be getting a new book for your 20 minutes of nightly reading. Honors students, you need to have a copy of Lord of the Flies, and we will have a meeting tomorrow morning at 7:35 AM in my room. I have moved the narrative essay assignment back to Wednesday; vocabulary Chapter 5 is due on Thursday.
Sophomores: Today we focused further on irony. We also introduced your next essay assignment. Here is the prompt: Write a cause and effect essay that answers the question, "What is your Personal Legend?" Explain what your Personal Legend is, how you will go about fulfilling it, and what the effect of fulfilling it will have on you and the world. It is due to turnitin.com by 7:59 AM on Monday, November 26. In your header, be sure to identify the lead and conclusion technique you are using. In the essay itself, you need to have at least three citations from stuff we have read this year. Only use citations from the texts that say things that could not be said any other way. Use passages from the book to help you tell your story. Due Friday is The Alchemist and Chapter 5 vocab. Honors students, we have elected to move our meeting and the essay that is due back to Friday.
CNF: We had a seminar on Chapter 2 from Freaknomics, discussing Information Asymmetry.
Basketball: We are at Sunnyside today, done at 5:30, and will have the program-wide parent meeting at 6 this evening at Judge in the library.
