Timed Writings

Honors: You prepped for tomorrow's timed writing over Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. today.  You should have left with a clear claim in mind that addresses their similarities and differences as well as sharing an opinion of your own.  Having that successfully written will enable you to sort through your sources and notes and focus on information related to your topic.

Remember, you will be allowed to have one sheet of notes and any of your primary source material with you tomorrow.  We'll start writing immediately so that you all have around 55 minutes to complete the writing.

Read Warriors Don't Cry chapter 8 pages 90-106 to keep pace.

Standard: I want to tell you how impressed I was today with how diligent you were when writing your timed writing over the poem "The House of Liberty" and the book Warriors Don't Cry.  We had done this work with small groups over the last couple of days.  Today was the time to show what you can do on your own.  Can't wait to read them.

Homework for tonight is to read pages 124-140, chapter 11.
