Honors 05-07-2014

You're nailing denotation and connotation.  Great work.  We are seeing that words are malleable and carry some pretty heavy baggage with them sometimes.  The take awy should be: choose your words carefully; every word matters.

Good discussion on the indifference quotes today.  You never cease to amaze me with your analysis and insight.  Keep it up.

We saw some powerful and moving photographs today.  You generated some good questions and we learned a little bit more about what the Holocaust entails.

Tomorrow, during my absence, you will be starting with a film called The People Next Door. You will not watch the entire thing, but it will expose you to more insightful information on the Holocaust.

There is an activity with connotation and denotation that you will work on after the film and I have a short story to share with you, time permitting.  I'll be back on Friday and we will pick up where you left off Thursday.  I will be able to answer any questions you have about the film or the other activities, so write those questions down.

See you soon.
