First period today began creating their Giver newsletters. We’ll be finishing it by the end of the week.

Second period went to the Peace Center to see a dramatization of To Kill a Mockingbird. Ann Hicks, at the Greenville Times, was not thrilled with the performance, but the kids all enjoyed it. There was disappointment that the one-hour, shortened version completely eliminated many students’ favorite character: Boo Radley.

Fourth and sixth periods worked on their debate preparation. Today’s task: begin outlining personal positions. We’ll begin working on opposing views at the end of the week.

Homework

• Second period:
  • complete the participation self-evaluation; and,
  • complete the starter self-evaluation.
