Wednesday 10/23

SL students spent some time today working on their vocabulary. In some classes they had to explain the link between the roots and the words, in other classes they had to write sentences that used the word and also showed its meaning. They will have a quiz on Friday. In the Hunger Games, we moved to the middle of chapter 20. They should be up to date on their Pause and Think's as well as their chapter summaries.

HL students read a speech given by Neil Gaiman at the Reading Agency annual lecture. They were asked to write about bias, both stated and implied. They also need to write a critical response on their own opinion on the speech. These were either due at the end of the hour, or by Thursday, depending on their behavior in class. 5th hour earned tomorrow's due date. It will be up to 7th hour to determine theirs.  Vocab 5 and 6 is due tomorrow, quiz on Friday.
