All of you reported success on the MCAS writing section. We continued with testing today, and the English section will conclude this Thursday. There is no assigned HW during testing days to allow you to focus all of your energy on the exam. Continued good luck!
Today in class:
We have started our pre-novel work for the novel Lord of the Flies. Yesterday, I asked you to brainstorm on what 10 items that you would bring to survive on an island for one year. This list, and the activities this week, will lead us into our next round of journal writing.
We also began to look at the British English, and discuss the subtle differences in language from across the pond in the UK.
We continued our debate in class: Is man inherently good or evil? Where does evil come from? If there were no consequences in life, would people act with a good heart?
