Honors 02-20-2014

Acuity Predictive C today.  The scores were not quite where I'd hoped they'd be, but I'll see what problem areas you had and then we will address them starting next week.

I returned last Friday's timed writings today so that they could be identified and recorded.  I will return them to you again tomorrow.  You will have a chance to hear an exemplary paper--or at least a strong one--on the topic you wrote about.  I also want you to spend a few minutes discussing what the strengths of the strong papers were.  Why were they successful?

Tonight, be sure to read and text code "There Will Come Soft Rains" (the short story) for class tomorrow. After we conclude our discussion of the poem 'There Will Come Soft Rains", I have several prompts on the story I'm looking forward to discussing with you.  What happened?  Personification? Mood?  Theme? Irony? How do the poem and story connect?  Be sure you are prepared to discuss.  We will do some form of a Socratic seminar tomorrow in class.  It will be assessed.  That means you need to participate!  The more prepared you are the better you will discuss.

Don't forget to keep reading your fiction book.   How many questions do you have for your interview?    Do you have ideas for responses?  Are you taking notes for supporting information?  Don't procrastinate.

See you soon.
