This picture has nothing to do with today's classes, but I thought it was cute.

Here's today's recap!

English 8

We did additional review today, finished up the Greek Gods slides, and hopefully finished filling in the charts in the unit packet. These charts need to be finished because I'll be requiring you to turn them in on Friday.

Just to see who's actually reading this post, if you send me a Schoology message before 7:00 a.m. tomorrow with the word "pantheon" in it, I'll give you one bonus point on Friday's test.

English 9

Some of us are a bit behind, so please use your time wisely and catch up as soon as you can. Today we discussed the foreshadowing and symbolism in "The Lottery."

Just to see who's actually reading this post, if you send me a Schoology message with the date that the lottery was held on (month and day) before 7:00 a.m. tomorrow, I'll give you a bonus point on the questions for "The Lottery" once you turn them in.

English 9 Honors

We discussed "Miriam" a bit more today and read a letter from Truman Capote to a fan who didn't quite understand what he was going for. We're going to start comparing author intent and look at how to turn our observations into a mini-essay.

Just to see who's actually reading this post, if you send me a Schoology message with the words "Truman Capote is a jerk" before 7:00 a.m. tomorrow, I'll give you a bonus point on your "Lottery" assignment from Friday.
