Okay, we did several things today, starting with a new set of vocab. I know it's hard to believe but we are nearing the end of our list of words. My apologies to per. 9 that the video was killed by Hannah in 4/5 so it is now resting in peace (in the trash can). On the plus side per. 9 gets to hear some of weird stories so it all balances out.
After the vocab the Gatsby papers were returned (passive)! Main things I saw with these papers: 1 you have to have strong and specific claim. 2. you have to make sure you develop your one claim throughout the whole paper. 3. you have to have evidence that supports your claim and hopefully it fits in smoothly. 4. you have to avoid meaningless phrases and redundancy 5. you have to sprinkle your paper with cologne (it makes me happy and I grade easier :o)
We also started our next novel/dictionary today. Yes it is rather fat but size is no way to judge. The pace is still 20 pages a day so everyone should be able to survive. If you have questions while reading just ask me but please don't spoil things (Stefan) for other students.
Finally, you all paired up and picked a speech to rip apart and discuss.
Upcoming: Lit. Review Wednesday; Fear for Monday.
Sorry one more thing: Registration is next Wednesday or Thursday so make sure you get your forms filled out and signed and you will of course all miss me next year so the best way to handle the withdrawal process is to join yearbook!
