Monday, April 4

Good morning! Welcome back after our Spring Break! I hope it was restful and everyone is ready to finish out the school year.

Today, we'll begin a short unit on non-fiction. It should take us about a week or so. We'll be looking at non-fiction, which is articles and stories about real life happenings. Today, our focus is on biography, autobiography, and memoir.

We started class off with a Daily Log, continued by taking some notes from a PowerPoint, and ended by reading "A Taste of Snow" by Jeanne Wakatsuki Houston. It's on page 284 of your textbook.

Of course, essays on Homer's Odyssey are due today as well.

If you missed class today, do the Daily Log (it's in the big blue binder at the front of the room), get the notes, read the short story and do the "Reading Check" questions.
