Today, after our warm up, we reviewed the literary device of euphemism. "Euphemism" is the title of the chapter you will need to read over the weekend, and an important literary term to know. Pay attention to why Karin Cook chose to title the chapter in this way. 6th hour - after doing this, we went over the reading from last night and started a characterization assignment, which is due on Tuesday. Download a copy below if you were absent or if it went missing. Make sure you read the instructions on the assignment! 7th and 8th periods - because of the disappointing lack of work that has been happening (or not happening, I should say) during the in-class reading and work time that I've been giving you this week, you recieved a pop quiz. If you were absent, you need to schedule a time no later than Wednesday 2/18. For many of you, hopefully this is a wake-up call. This is an easy book to read and you should have no excuse for getting behind, especially since you've had ample time to read in class. Keep up or it will negatively affect your grade and you will also be unable to participate in some of the class activities and assignments that are planned for the next two weeks. For homework, please read to page 86 and complete the characterization assignment (Please note: 7th period - this class did not get to it, so I will hand it out on Tuesday and it will be due Thursday for you.)Friday, February 13, 2009
