Class 9/8

PW: Today we did paragraph editing (commas and semicolons), and started reading chapter two of The Hunger Games.  Alec, you should really read the first chapter when you get the chance.  It's good.  Ethon, awesome job summarizing.  And Tone, Happy Birthday!

PA: Just further reading today of 1.1 (Bill/Tranio, I covered your part). Homework is to write a summary of this scene.

PPET: Your homework is to ask your references to write you letters of recommendation!  They're due next Friday.  I edited your resumes.  We'll talk about them tomorrow.

FW: Today we divided the reading and assigned roles for each day of literature circles (Of Mice and Men, Flowers for Algernon, and The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time). We have a library day tomorrow. I am really hoping the books will be here soon!

SS: You will be giving your demonstration speech Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday!  If possible, bring in materials.  Remember, no knives, other weapons, or live animals!  I do not have a stove or a blender!  The time is 3-5 minutes.

EC: Rocked it again today.  Keep doing what you're doing.
Homework questions for 1.2:
1.) How are Katharina and Bianca's reputations further clarified?  Find specific words/phrases.
2.) What does Petruchio's monologue (pg. 44) reveal about him?
3.) What specific images are tied to Kate's wooing?  Obviously the shrew is one, but there are others...

I will have everything graded and returned by Monday!  Remember, I am grading you on participation!  Some of you need to talk more, and some of you need to talk much much less (to each other, that is).  Mark, you're not fooling me.
