Freshmen: Today we began Of Mice and Men, getting a little background on the story and discussing some literary concepts that should help you better understand the text. You should finish the first two chapters or sections of the book by next Monday (use your 20 minutes of reading each night for this), and also work on the guide sheet I gave you. Don't forget about Membean, your Grandparent Project, or your Letter to the Editor.
Sophomores: Today we watched a few scenes from The Diving Bell and the Butterfly, in order to better help you understand things from Jean-Dominique Bauby's point of view. We will begin reading the book later this week. Keep working on Membean, and work on your end of the semester project as well.
Honors Sophomores: Today we had a potpourri of activities - discussing ideas, images, and themes evident in The Tao te Ching; discussing how Foster's work applies to Siddhartha; listening to and watching a couple of interviews that deal with AUM; as well as reading two great This I Believe Essays that deal with listening, a crucial component of Siddhartha. Finish the book and your essay for Friday and keep working on Membean and your end of the semester project.
CNF: Today we continued to read from Freakonomics and The Tipping Point, studying theories as to why crime has decreased.
Basketball: We are at Sunnyside until 5:30 on Tuesday, and Wednesday we meet at noon for uniforms, a meeting, and concussion testing. Be back to Judge at 4:30, dressed and ready to go, for our game against Kearns.
