REHUGO Revisited

Today was a bit of a whirlwind. There were a few casualties from the AP Calculus Exam, but overall, we got quite a bit accomplished. What happened to Taylor, I wonder?
Anyhoo, I quickly reviewed the use of quotations for support, and tried to remind you to incorporate them as seamlessly as you can in your essays. I also collected the synthesis essays you wrote in response to the prompt from your textbook.
Next, we reviewed the meaning of REHUGO (readings, entertainment, history, universal truths, general knowledge, and observations). We discovered that Universal Truths are mostly funny so are not too critical for you to think about.
I also assigned a fair bit of reading in the hope that you might consider a few more issues before the exam.
Please read:


  • The Real New York Giants (p.471)

  • AIDS has a Woman's Face (p. 382)

  • New and Newer Versions of Scripture (p. 405)

  • the blue handout with the two articles about the Mortensen scandal.
These are all quick reads, and you got some work done in class. Please spend your time between now and Tuesday reviewing for the exam.

Thanks and good luck!
Ms. M
