Standard 03-21-2013

One more day of presentations tomorrow.  Period three was treated to the best presentation yet by Jordan Vargo and Sam Nicholas.  So smooth.  So well practiced.  So informative.  So easy to watch and listen to and learn from.  Period three, you can learn from them.  Period four, it's time to pick up the slack.  Six of the seven pairs of presenters from period three showed up in my room today to practice and perfect their presentations.  One of the seven from period four did the same.  Should any of us be surprised that period three is performing better than period four?

We broke down our comprehension of "The Story of an Hour" in class yesterday and today, and we plan on finishing that tomorrow.  Then we'll move on to a little deeper analysis.  We'll discuss why Chopin set the story up the way she did.  It'll be our final dabble with fiction for a while.

The nonfiction quarter will start next week.  We'll be reading a lot of articles and longer nonfiction pieces.  Be ready to analyze!

End of the third quarter was today.  Grades are due Monday.  Do yourself a favor and check your grades on HAC to be sure you have turned everything in.

See you tomorrow.
