English I Honors students worked on the effect allusions have on the Police song “Wrapped Around Your Finger.” We worked out the big picture of the song, determining that the entire song seems to be an allusion to Odysseus’s relationship to Calypso but hadn’t quite figured out the song as a whole.

English 8 students worked on their Friday inference work on this text:

Kyle ran into his house, slamming the door behind him. He threw his book bag on the floor and plopped onto the couch. After six hours of playing Grand Larceny VII, he ate some pizza and fell asleep with a slice on his stomach and his feet on his book bag. When Kyle came home from school the next day, he was noticeably distraught. He balled up his report card and placed it inside a soup can in the garbage. He then flipped the soup can upside down in the garbage can and arranged loose pieces of trash over it. As he plopped down on the couch, he let out a sigh and picked up his controller.

Students who didn’t finish the work should be working on it at home.
