The students will be receiving homework that will be due by Thursday. It is a short assignment entitled "Persuasion is all around us." The students will find an example of persuasion--an article in the newspaper, a letter to the editor, a movie or book review, a commercial, an advertisement, etc. They will be filling out four short questions on a half sheet of paper and bringing this and their persuasive item (if possible) back to me.

Lit 7 -
We are cruising along with Freak the Mighty. We are also working on a character collage, which is replacing study guides for the chapters. The students are considering various perspectives as well as using their creativity to complete this project. We will have a "chapter check" in class tomorrow. This is a short, easy "quiz" that checks for understanding or that students are completing the assigned reading.
