Mr. Janz was in today.

HUMANITIES 8

Today students completed their final quiz on The Outsiders. Following this, we went over the details of their final project: small groups develop and create a board game based on The Outsiders using plot, theme(s), characters, and setting. This class was used to develop the details of how the groups games will play - rules, layout, etc. Each group needed to submit a proposal for the teacher to approve. All students present have had their proposals accepted.
Tomorrow groups will begin the construction of their games.

ENGLISH 10

Class started off by reflecting on Dickens' Tale of Two Cities literary allusion on page 50 of The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-Time Indian. We compared the opening lines of 'Two Cities' and ATDPTI in reference to the assignment started last class ('Aspects of Identity Assignment').
Then we discussed stereotypes. Class viewed a slide show on the use of stereotypes in logos especially those of professional sports teams.

Finally, students were given more time to work on their 'duality of identity' assignment started last class. THIS ASSIGNMENT IS NOW HOMEWORK AND DUE MONDAY.
