Eng8: Texty Tuesday will commence next Tuesday. Please bring a print novel, graphic novel, newspaper... Whatever you wish to read for 10 minutes on Tuesday!
NM10: Please complete your outline for next class. We will write tomorrow. Again, the topics are:
English 8: If not completed in class, let's just spend 10-15 minutes completing our practice outline. We'll do an individual practice tomorrow, using familiar texts. We'll also look at our last memoir of the unit.
NM10: Please finish the "Millennial Generation" Q's if not already done in class. I will conduct a brief homework check at the start of class tomorrow.
Eng8: Please finish your journal on "Eleven" (8 sentences), to be handed in at the start of next class.
What is the lesson (moral) of "Eleven?" Explain, and show how you know.
Just do the best you can :)
NM10:
If not completed in class, please complete your 8-10 sentence response on "Credo:" how much do you agree/ disagree with the author's stance? Is there a limit to our concept of free speech?
Tomorrow, we will see that this text might do a little more than just argue for free speech...
