Today's was a pretty relaxed class. You read various articles, which may give you something to include on your AP essay. Anyway, just so I've said it, now is probably a good time to read the paper, watch the news, read a novel of substance (I know that smacks of judgement, but it's probably not the time for Harry Potter - I love Harry Potter, but still ...). I will give you a film assignment for the break, so you can watch some movies (again, probably not HP).
Thanks to Michelle for bravely going to the front of the class alone (insert scary music here). Good work - you brought up a solid amount of important information about MLK's letter.
There is a great rhetorical analysis essay about Letter from a Birmingham Jail here. You should all read it. Seriously.
Homework: finish reading MLK's Letter and study Vocabulary Unit 6; Quiz and in-class practice writing next Wednesday.
Reminder: Bring your AP $105. Please remind me to remind you.
Note: anthropomorphism is giving human qualities to animals, non-living things, material states, and objects or abstract concepts; personification is where a thing or abstraction is represented as a person.
Well off to my weekend of drudgery - laundry, cleaning, cooking, laundry, cleaning, cooking, mark 23 essays, do report cards ... you see, not that fun. Sitting in class looks pretty good when you think about it! :)
