6

First and sixth periods are almost finished with their critical reading of Monster. We’ll soon be having a debate on the book and the protagonist’s guilt/innocence.

Second and fourth periods had the End of Course Exam for English I Honors today. This means that, for all intents and purposes[1. Remember when you thought that was, “For all intensive purposes”? Well, maybe that was just me.], the school year is over for them[2. I know that with that previous footnote, it should have read, “Well, maybe that was just I,” but it just doesn’t sound as good to modern ears.]. Perhaps not for all intents and purposes, but for the state of South Carolina’s intents and purposes, it certainly is.

Seventh period finished up working with persuasive writing.

Homework

• Second and fourth periods:
