You'll notice I didn't have time to blog on Friday. Leaving for All-State left me without the opportunity to do that. So that will be combined with today.

In Literature 9 we finished the notes on the historical context of Harper Lee's book. I also reminded everyone of the vocabulary "deal". As soon as 5 or more people don't look up the words, then we will have quizzes. I really hate grading and making up vocabulary quizzes, so I hope everyone gets them done. Today we also had the opportunity to read some of the chapter. The rest is due for tomorrow.

In English 10 we got through privileged motions and notes on incidental motions. We will finish the chart tomorrow and begin our first meeting tomorrow. Everyone also received vocabulary over Social Sciences (power points due on Wednesday) and a worksheet on Prepositional Phrases (the first exercise is due tomorrow).

In American Government we began a conversation about the influence of family, friends, and staff on Congressmen and Senators. We also discussed the difference between personal and committee staff. The news forum is up and running. We will finish the chapter on Wednesday with the test on Friday.

In Law we watched an episode of 48 Hours. We will begin our next unit tomorrow.

Good Luck to the girls tonight. I hope you play your game, and then let everything fall where it might.
