First and sixth continued assessing online sources and began researching for their persuasive writing topic.

Second and fourth periods began a lightning quick unit covering propaganda and letter writing (not as odd a combination as one might expect) as we finish up the Odyssey project.

Seventh period began a new short story in our short story unit. We’ll be finishing up the unit next week.

Homework

• First and sixth periods: none.
• Second and fourth periods:
• find one example of transfer or glittering generalities in advertising; print it, identify it, and bring it
• work on Odyssey project;
• study for phrases test.
• Seven period: read “Letters from Rifka” (page 224).
