Pre-AP
In today's class, we discussed logical progression of sentences in a paragraph before finishing the documentary Waiting for Superman. After the documentary, we discussed the state of education in our society, and why it is like it is. In the conversation, the topics of tenure, internal motivation, and the teacher evaluation process were brought up and discussed.
Homework: Students need to review chapters 9-12 in Lord of the Flies in preparation for their test on Monday. The test will also cover and contain Words of the Day (23), irregular verb conjugation, quote identifications, and extended responses.
Also, students will be reading several short stories before the semester is over. If they would like to go ahead and get a head start on these stories, they can. The stories are, "The Most Dangerous Game" (page 24 in the textbook), "The Cask of Amontillado" (page 57 in the textbook), "The Lottery" (handout), and "The Ransom of Red Chief" (handout).
