Pre-AP
In today's class, we took our word of the day quiz, covering all words of the day that we have discussed in class thusfar. Afterwards, we also completed a close reading of part three of The Odyssey. Within that reading, we discussed how hospitality played a major role in the lives and everyday-behavior of the ancients, and how it drove some of the action in the story. We also discussed the heroic light in which Homer casts Penelope. All of this discussion and reading is in preparation for tomorrow's quiz on this part of The Odyssey.
Homework: Re-read and review part three of The Odyssey (pages 995-1006) in preparation for tomorrow's test.
AHSGE Reading Review
We finished watching Waiting for Superman today and had a class discussion about tenure laws and graduation examinations.
Homework: Students need to finish their typed, professional resumes and bring a copy with them to class tomorrow. Students also must "dress up" for their mock-interviews tomorrow. For guys, at least wear a polo-type shirt tucked into dress pants with dress shoes. For girls, either a dress skirt or dress pants need to be worn along with closed-toed shoes and a dress shirt or blouse.
