January 21 - 25: Spring Semester!

I've really enjoyed getting to know you over the last semester, and looking forward to the variety of shorter units we'll cover in Spring, leading up to the exam. I'm so impressed by both the writing and discussions we've been able to have, and excited for the next four months (!) until you're seniors.

Due to the MLK holiday and the planned staff professional development day on Friday, we will meet only once, on Wednesday.
 
WEDNESDAY: Journal warm-up. Reading comprehension passages (all 11th graders will be working on these this week). Go over final exam responses. Receive "Paper Tigers" article for discussion next week.

Due: n/a

Homework: Please read "Paper Tigers" by Wesley Yang. Jot down your ideas in response to discussion questions 2-9 at the end of the article and be ready to discuss on Monday.

Be ready to write an argument prompt in class during next Wednesday's class.

Next week, we'll have the first Current Event quiz on Friday, covering the "10 Things" e-mails from Sunday, January 27 - Wednesday, January 30.
