First and sixth spent a final day working on the persuasive essay. We’re now a week behind, but I think in the end, it was worth it: it’s better to fall a bit behind and make sure everyone understands what’s going on than to rush ahead and leave a significant portion of the students behind.

Second and fourth continued reading and examining To Kill a Mockingbird. We looked at the use of the common racial epithet used for African Americans in the book and examined the question of whether it was racist or not. We were working toward the question of the effect of the historical context.

Seventh period practiced using the Moodle site that they will be taking tomorrow’s test on.

Homework
  • First and sixth periods: first draft of the persuasive essay due Monday.
  • Second and fourth periods:
    • read chapters 13-15;
    • complete first draft of propaganda complaint letter.
  • Seventh period: study for tomorrow’s test on the short story unit.

  2. Hry I’m confused. Is the final draft for the propaganda letter due tomorrow or Monday, because we woln’t be in class tomorrow?? Are you going to take it up anyways or something??

  3. It’s due Monday.
