Today is a personal day for me. It is my parent's 52nd anniversary. Hope your day is a happy one Mom and Dad. (Like they read this assignment blog!) :-)

In Literature 9 we reviewed the vocabulary words related to "The Cask of the Amontillado". We also worked with them in a quick SMART board matching exercise. We watched an old Toby Keith music video which was a spoof on the "Cask of the Amontillado". We discussed how this story, like "The Leap" was a flashback, and Poe was inspired by a true account in the newspaper to write this story. We will be having a check tomorrow over the events and details of this story.

In English 10 we reviewed the vocabulary words related Attitudes and Appearances and then took our test. We seem to really know these words because of the format that we use. You are a becoming excellent teachers. Then we discussed how we were going to study for our unit test on the Art of Communication. After being placed in teams, each team must work on how they can best study for Thursday's test.

In American Literature we finished watching "The Crucible". Several students were impacted by the conclusion of this film. Since the story is based on a set of actual events, I feel that it makes the film so powerful. We will be discussing the end of the movie on Thursday and distributing a study guide for the unit test on Tuesday (next week).

Good Luck to the volleyball team against the Generals. Go Mustangs!
