4th quarter! We have made it!

Our schedule:
The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn (four weeks with a persuasive paper)
The Glass Castle (three weeks with an analytical essay)
Choice novels (no paper except final exam!)

We will still do Writing Wednesdays and Reading Fridays.

This quarter, if you bring in a recent magazine that is of high interest (something you would actually want to read yourself) you can earn three extra credit points. If you bring in a high interest novel to donate, you can earn five. You can earn a maximum of 15 points this way. You do the math.

Monday:
1. News Tues: Each Tuesdaywe will read an article from a "trustworthy" news source about an issue of relevance. Why do this?
This week: School bullying to the extremes? OR Ten Letters a Day. Print out the article of your choice for points, and bring it to class on Tuesday!
2. Huck Finn K-W-L
3. Begin Born to Trouble
