9.26.08

Sorry about the lack of posts. As some of you may have noticed, the computer in my room is being repaired, which has not allowed me to blog at the end of the day.

Brit Lit:
Block A: We finally created our socks. If you asked to complete them at home, please make sure that you finish them and remember to bring them back to class on Monday. Also, in our creative Friday rush, I forgot to collect your HW. Please remember to bring it to class- I will collect them on Monday.

Block B:
Monday we start Macbeth. Ask me why you can't say the name Macbeth in a theartre.....

Soph Lit: Please cover your Animal Farm books if possible. I realize that it is hard to cover paperbacks, but it does help keep them alive longer.
You all did a wonderful job with your proaganda speeches today. Some of you have politics in your future. If you did not get a chance to google The Communist Manefesto- please do and come in with 3 lines that you found interesting and be prepaired to disscuss it at the start of class on Monday. With the Pep Rally schedule today, I just lost track of time...

Also...please watch either the presidental debate, cnn/fox news, or any of the Sunday morning political shows. Please watch for all of the terms that we discussed. I would like each of you to have three examples. Watch for the grandaddy of them all...begging the question. They will do it- see if you can see through the propaganda on both sides. Why don't we notice this normally? What does this say about our democracy? Remember- the most import thing that I can teach you is to think for yourselves. Think about it....
