Pre-AP
What a capital idea! In today's class we discussed capitalization, and how it is a tricky topic, even for those who think they have a firm grasp on the concept. After playing a game to assess our understanding of the topic, we then turned to To Kill a Mockingbird and continued to analyze the story for elements that Lee included to point to her overall thesis about prejudice: that it is present in the heart of every man, but must be fought on all sides in order for it to be overcome.
Homework: Students need to read chapters 22-31 in To Kill a Mockingbird by Friday, April 6th. On Friday, they will take the fourth exam on the novel. Then, on Tuesday, April 10th, students will take the Unit Test on the novel, which will assess all material covered in class during the duration of our study of To Kill a Mockingbird. Students would be well advised to start studying for the fourth test and the Unit Test right away.
AHSGE Reading Review
We continued talking about fallacious thinking in class today, and also talked about the difference in fact and opinion.
