Freshmen: Today we began a study of Illustration, Example, and Description as rhetorical devices. Read for 20 minutes Tuesday and Wednesday, and remember that we have a vocab exam on Friday.
Sophomores: Today we focused on the Letters About Literature contest (LAL, lol). You are to think of a book, poem, or story that changed how you view yourself or the world. This essay should take the form of a letter to the writer, who can be living or dead, and explain how the work impacted you. More info can be found at http://lettersaboutliterature.org/yahoo_site_admin/assets/docs/Guidelines_School_Library_2013_gl.247153357.pdf
The typed essay is due Wednesday, 12/19 and must include the entry coupon that you can download and have your parents sign from the address above. Failure to include the entry coupon will result in earning only up to half credit.
Finish Siddhartha for Monday, complete your reflections, and remember that vocab is due Friday.
CNF: Today we began Hoop Dreams.
Basketball: We are at Sunnyside until 5:30 today.
