Think! Think! Think!

Honors: I know I wasn't there in the physical sense today but I was with you in spirit.  My spirit informed me that you were a little discombobulated by the in-class-timed-essay that was announced. Don't worry, it won't be tomorrow; however, it will most likely be Friday.  We'll take tomorrow to answer questions and prep you for the actual writing.

You need to be thinking about Malcolm X and thinking about Martin Luther king, Jr., and thinking about how you want to compare and contrast them.

Think about how you'll get your opinion in your claim as well.

Think about how you want to structure your writing.

Think about organizing your ideas and source material tonight.

Think!

Oh, and be sure to read chapter 7 of Warriors Don't Cry.

Standard: A lot of you were thinking in class today as we discussed how Langston Hughes' poems connected to Warriors Don't Cry.  You need to keep thinking because you are soon going to be doing what we did in class today by yourself: analyzing a poem and how it connects to the story.

Read chapter 10 tonight pages 114-123.  Text Code.

Be ready for a quiz?

Be ready for me to check your text coding?

Be ready to do some writing?

Be ready!
