ORANGE DAY

COLLEGE PREP

We began class with a quick writing prompt: Besides school/teachers, describe someone who has TAUGHT you an important lesson in life.....after writing, we all quickly shared what we wrote about....

We talked about HEROES through page 68 (the last reading assignment) and how "table tennis" was used as a metaphor in the story....how was ping pong a learning experience for Francis?

We began our next section of reading, which is to read page 68-81....some folks did not finish it...

Great discussion today folks! We will write on Wednesday....

ALSO, you will have HALF of class on Wednesday to work on your book talk presentation....the book talks are on FRIDAY!

COLLEGE ENGLISH

Today was a big day for taking notes, so if you were not here, be sure to copy the notes from a classmate!!! We took notes on genres and how they exist in our modern world....then we took notes on stereotypes/characteristics of EPIC HERO stories....this was all done so you could begin thinking of your composition (which was assigned last week or so)...

I did not tell you this in class, but your compare/contrast composition is due next TUESDAY....

We will begin the film this FRIDAY

On Wednesday, we will talk a bit more about epic hero stereotypes, and you will be given time to work on your composition.....

Your book talks will be next THURSDAY now...
