Pre-AP
Today we focused on one of our summer reading assignments, The Secret Life of Bees. After taking a quiz on the book's main plot points, we then broke into groups to discuss whether or not we enjoyed SLB or The Hunger Games more. The class divided into the two different camps, and used the elements of a persuasive essay (which we discussed in class) to come up with a creative presentation proclaiming why their book was the best. Secret Life of Bees won out, as the group avowing its grandeur created a poem saying why it was better than The Hunger Games.

AHSGE Reading Review
Propaganda was the main topic of today's lesson. We learned about what propaganda is and how it influences our every day lives. We also learned that in order to distinguish propaganda we must be able to tell the difference between fact and fiction and recognize how each can influence our views on certain things.
