Discussion Practice

Hola all you slackers! Once again it is Ms. Meister's secretary Sophiaaaaa. Quit slackin' and complainin' and do your work. GET OFF OF FACEBOOK!

Today we had our first practice discussion. Went pretty well for the first time. Talkers make sure you are aware and tone it down. Shy people step it up, life isn't that scary. Then got your first essay. If you are struggling come and see me. Don't forget to do multiple choice for tomorrow:)

Love your fellow favorite Senior,

Sophie:)

First (of many ) practice MC

Started out the morning with a sample multiple choice. Then spent the rest of the hour presenting on "Indian Ed." Homework for tonight, read and do the questions for "Dwellings." This is Curly Sophie being Feisty Meisty's secretary:) Have fun all you LAME-O JUNIORS! :)

What is an artist?

What a great day in English when you get to talk about how a passionate drunk is on the same level as an artist!
Today we spent most of the class looking at the sample text from Ralph Ellison. Hopefully you're starting to get the hang of this annotation business. The good news is that it only gets easier. We closed the class by looking at three different perspectives on Native Americans and we'll start with that tomorrow.
The homework for tonight is the Silko piece. If you were unlucky like Beth you ended up with a dysfunctional text but click above for another copy of it.
Enjoy your last night of hot sticky weather.

Happy Friday

Well hello everyone. Welcome to a new year!
We started the hour by finishing up my short intro. to analysis with Snow White. If you're nerdy like me pick another fairy tale and practice with it.
Today we got our first set of vocab words. If you need the list or want to watch the video again go to the website. After the vocab we talked about how to annotate a text and then I gave you a text to practice with this weekend.
Happy analyzing!
