First and fifth periods completed the testimony portion of Monster. Both the state and the defense have now rested, and we’ll be heading into closing arguments and the end of the book tomorrow.

Second and fourth periods began their final research project on Great Expectations. We worked today on developing and narrowing a research question with a preliminary overview of available resources. We began creating, in essence, an annotated bibliography.

Homework

• First and fifth periods: none.
• Second and fourth periods: continue working in Lord of the Flies self-study unit.

Class Notes

Notes for the day's classes are available here.

Please note that this is a composite file including notes from all classes, though occasionally it might only be one or two classes. I don't differentiate in the file; that is up to you to do.
