A series of events....

The last week has been unusual and so the blog has fallen behind. A brief overview of past events:

Thursday 2/17: We finished watching Malcolm X (movie).

Friday 2/18: We learned about complex sentences and practiced writing them and compound sentences. We turned the worksheet and notes in at the end of the block.

Tuesday 2/21: We reviewed expectations for the multigenre visual and reflection. We had a discussion about whether the Autobiography of Malcolm X should or shouldn't be taught in school. The multigenre project is due Friday.

Wednesday 2/22: We took the unit test.

Thursday (today) 2/23: We began the novel "Speak" by discussing survival, and what happens when we're just trying to get by. Then we read the first 13 pages and answered questions as we read. The questions were turned in. Homework: Be sure to bring your visual and project tomorrow and be prepared to read a poem or an excerpt of personal narrative. Food & drinks are also allowed in celebration for the end of the project and as a reward for being so good on Wednesday.
