Friday, April 13th

Pre-AP
In today's class, we analyzed Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, paying special attention to his use of figurative language and allusion.  Then, we began watching the cinematic adaptation of To Kill a Mockingbird.

Homework:  In class, students received a poetry packet that we will be using next week.  Students are to read all of the selections from Tennyson's In Memoriam (pages 1-5 in the packet), fill in the blanks in the poem's introduction, and write a paragraph describing the author's changing viewpoint of the Divine as he struggles with his great loss.  This paragraph will be due on Monday, April 16th.

AHSGE Reading Review
In today's class, we studied Shirley Jackson's "The Lottery."
