First and sixth periods started a short unit on reading a political cartoon. We looked at several today and discussed the main strategies cartoonists use in creating such cartoons.

Second and fourth periods continued working on sentence types.

Seventh period, due to the activity next door installing a new Promethean board and the activity soon to be in our room, helped me rearrange the room in preparation for the installation of a Promethean board in my room: there was little point trying to do anything else with all the wonderfully productive noise and activity.

Homework

• First and sixth periods: find a political cartoon that you understand by Monday.
• Second and fourth periods: read chapters 11 and 12 from Lord of the Flies by Monday.
