As we enter a new week we are also going to begin a new unit. More on that in a minute....I will hand back your comparative analysis essays this week and allow you to revise them (TYPED). This will be done in the same manner as the critical analysis revisions. The due date for the TYPED revisions will be Monday, March 8th. I will not be in class on Friday, March 5th due to the blood drive.

We will begin our Lord of the Flies unit this week. We will be discussing anticipation guides and how they can direct our reading and aid us in solidifying and reinforcing our moral compass. What is good? What is evil? How do we react in extreme circumstances? How does the dichotomy of man manifest itself? These are all questions we will consider.

In addition, I have discovered a new feature that I will post in the links section of our class blog. I have subscribed to a web service that will allow me to upload/post documents that we use in class and make them easily available to you. The link will be called "SCRIBD" which is the name of the site. I have uploaded the outside reading list, the creative representation expectations, and the guided questions sheet. Check it out!

Don't hate school just yet, SBX is fast approaching!
