Friday, October 26th

Happy Friday!

Pre-AP English 9
We started writing the rough draft of our research papers in class today.  Students particularly worked on their introductory paragraphs and transitions.

Homework:  Students need to finish the rough draft of their research paper, which is due at the BEGINNING of class on Monday, October 29th.  Students also need to have chapters 6-9 of The Boy in the Striped Pajamas read by Monday.

English 10
After working with run-on and fragment sentences, we read through several pieces of writing by founding father Benjamin Franklin in class today.  Our main point was the try and determine whether or not a reader can always believe everything someone writes about themselves in an autobiography and whether or not we can believe the legends we have heard about our country's history.  The goal was to become informed readers that evaluate each piece of literature individually without outside bias or presupposition.
