ISTEP Tomorrow!

Be sure you are resting tonight and eating well tomorrow morning.  We want you as sharp as possible for tomorrow's testing.  Remember all the tips we've gone over.  You can do well!  I have faith in you.

Happy Birthday, Dr. Seuss!

Honors:  We looked at an intriguing game called Shoot-out today and debated the worth of the game itself and violent role playing games as a whole.  Here's a link to the article.  Some people got caught up in their own views, but the trick today was to try and support the side you were assigned based solely on the information presented in the text I shared.  Evidence, evidence evidence!  You need to draw evidence from the text if you are going to be successful in convincing someone to come to your side of an argument.  More to come on different topics tomorrow.

Standard: We continued to gather information from The Ernest Green Story to compare and contrast with Warriors Don't Cry.  I know a lot of you have a nice pool of information to draw from.  We'll finish up tomorrow and then start writing the compare/contrast papers.
