What we heard today in class from Spencer Kilmer, Caroline Parker, Emily Mack, Alyia Bralick, and Nathan Glaser was pretty powerful. Not surprising then, most of you took me up on the second chance to write the letter to/from God/Elie. Remember to emphasize specific references to the text. Passing references to generalities won't cut it. Be specific and detailed when possible. I'll be collecting all of them--without penalty--tomorrow.
A TON of material to go over tomorrow. We'll be covering info from pages 69 up to 103. We have time in periods five and six, but we'll be pushing it in period one. Come prepared to discuss, question, write, and discuss some more.
Had 29 people retake the verbals quiz. All but one improved their scores. 9 of the 29 even hit the maximum number of points (19/22). Thanks for taking the time over the last two days to learn a little more and improve your scores.
The QBTs are finally finished! Okay, all but period one. Are you kidding me? Five of the seven remaining presenters were absent today? An unfortunate coincidence, I can only hope.
Another Archer card signature possibility. On Christmas Eve through Christmas day, the film A Christmas Story will be running for 24 hours straight. It's a funny movie with an oft quoted line. The line is the young protagonist's mother's reason for not buying him (Ralphie) an Official Red Ryder Carbine-Action Two-Hundred-Shot Range Model Air Rifle. Tell me the line and I'll sign your card. Then be sure to watch the movie sometime over break.
See you tomorrow.
