A couple of you have gone AWOL on me and I have not received your paper, which was due on Tuesday! Remember the policy is to email me the paper if you are not here; otherwise, a late penalty of 20% per day will be used. This is for the first three days. After three days you cannot make up the paper and will receive a zero. Don't do this to yourself!
I also hope all of you are reading your first independent reading book -- either The Scarlet Letter or Last of the Mohicans. Don't procrastinate any more!! The test is January 31st.
Students have turned in their annotations for Letter From a Birmingham Jail, so if you are one of the students that has gone AWOL you need to remember to turn these into me as well.
We have talked a little bit about the letter and have begun watching 4 Little Girls about the bombing of 16th Street Baptist Church in Birmingham. We are looking at the argument Spike Lee makes in the film and the rhetorical/persuasive strategies he uses. Those of you who are out will need to make arrangements with me to make up viewing the film.
Don't forget that you should have your notecards done for the first vocabulary unit by Friday. We will go over the words before finishing 4 Little Girls. Your first quiz will be Monday. Don't forget!
