If you are in the standard class, click on the S.H.I.M.P. link and read over the slides. Be sure to complete either option one or option two in your writer's notebook.
After that, you should click on the Amy Cuddy link. It's a short video that we weren't able to finish today. We made it through 15 minutes of the 21 minute video. Feel free to watch the first fifteen minutes if you were not in class today so that you are up to date in what we've been doing.
Tomorrow we are taking the ISTEP practice test. Nothing to prepare for...just practice.
Tomorrow you should also be turning in your Defend Your Position papers. I'll be collecting them before taking the ISTEP practice test.

If you are in the honors class, then click on the link to the lyrics to "One Week" and see if you can identify all the allusions in the song. Write them down and show me to see if you were able to identify them all. Then write a couple sentences explaining why writers should use allusions in their writing.
We looked at the following quote...
-“...You
foolish and senseless people, who have eyes, but do not see, who have
ears, but do not hear.”
-Jeremiah
5:21
...and discussed its meaning.
I then linked you to two articles, one by Leonard Pitts and one by Carl Hiaasen, both journalists with the Miami Herald. I want you to read, print and annotate the articles for Wednesday's class.
Tomorrow we are also taking the ISTEP practice test. Get a good rest and do your best tomorrow.
