Juniors - Wednesday/Thursday, March 4-5

Today we spent some time going over some ACT practice questions in place of our warm up. The ACT is coming up for you guys, so the more practice, the better! Especially since the English tests are tricky and difficult. After that, we briefly discussed some of the chapters we've read in WGL and focused on how the girls are beginning to learn more about sexuality and gender roles and expectations as they grow into teenagers. To follow up your Reflection and Response #2 Assignment/project, which dealt with media portrayal and cultural expectations of teen girls, we read a TIME magazine article that offered a different perspective on teenage males, followed by some reading questions and a discussion. For homework, please turn in the questions that you started in class by Friday. Also, don't forget to read to page 260 by Friday! For Monday, read to page 281.
