Friday Dec 9th

11s-  Journals #1-4 are due Tuesday Dec 13th.  I will mark 2...indicate to me which two you'd like me to mark.  Look at the rubric and the example for guidance.  Beef up and polish your entries prior to handing  your journal in.

Entries so far:

#4 (today)- "Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet.  Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired, and success achieved."  Helen Keller

#3 You Tube Clip - why students don't read what is assigned - watched clip...your reactions

#2 "A love of tradition has never weakened a nation, indeed it has strengthened nations in their time of peril; but the new view must come, the world must roll forward."  Winston Churchill

#1 "Life's most urgent and persistent question is what are you doing for others?"  Martin Luther King

Today we began our reading of Lord of the Flies (LOTF) and discussed how and why Golding wrote the novel.  Finish reading chapter 1 and complete character chart for Ralph and Piggy.

10s - Today we sped through Act 4...Masks and explanations are due on Tuesday Dec 13th.  You will write a R + J test (so study the terms we've looked at so far) and write a character paragraph based on your inferences/quote worksheet.
