The school is a little cold, so I would dress in layers.

In English I we reviewed four more vocabulary words. We took a look at out evaluation on Google. During first hour we had one speaker, but during eighth hour they just got a little more time to work on their speeches.

In American Literature it was jelly beans, Emerson, and quotations. The study of Emerson is a lot like jelly beans - a variety of colors and flavors, everyone has their favorite. We started to take notes on transcendentalism.

In Literature 9 we discussed flashbacks and how it could affect the structure of a story (like "The Leap"). We also talked about what a motif was - a word, phrase, or item that repeats in a story. For example in The Miracle Worker it was water, and in this story it is blindness. We finished up with a vocabulary lesson (homework).

See everyone tomorrow!
