January 30 - February 3

Welcome!  I hope everyone had a good three-day weekend. There certainly is a lot going on these days. 

This week, we will be working on Huckleberry Finn and also looking at The Declaration of Independence as an argument.

TUESDAY: Journal warm-up.  The Declaration of Independence as an argument. Review Huckleberry Finn reading and Huck Finn For and Against assignment.  If time, vocab story rounds.

Due: Please read Chapters 21-23 (page 152 of the library version).  You're about to learn more about the scam artistry of the Duke and the Dauphin - be ready to discuss what Twain is saying about American society/culture and whether or not his satire is relevant today. 

 Read through both articles in the Huckleberry Finn for and Against Assignment.

Homework: Read chapters 24-26 (p.158-180) for Thursday.  The reading will be on the quiz on Thursday with the vocabulary and grammar.

THURSDAY: Journal warm-up.  Quiz.  Go over Huckleberry Finn reading, read aloud in class.  Read essay "Words that Work" and discuss with real-world examples in groups. 

Due: Read chapters 24-26 (p.158-180) for Thursday.  The reading will be on the quiz on Thursday with the vocabulary and grammar.
