English 9 - Friday, November 21, 2008

Today I had to miss school unexpectedly, but you all had a very productive day according to the substitute and Ms. Cody. You spent the entire class period with the laptops, working on and revising your opening statements for We The People. On Monday and Tuesday, we will be integrating and spending both days practicing and practicing and revising and practicing for WTP. That being said, there is no homework for The House on Mango Street for now - just stay focused on the upcoming competition and remember what we talked about in class regarding qualities of good public speaking (maintaining eye contact, no monotone voices, no slouching, no "likes" or "ums"!) and backing up your follow up answers with as much evidence as possible!!
