Juniors

Please write a one page journal entry to makeup for today’s Daily Language.

Students received a copy of the most common prefixes and suffixes. Students engaged in an exercise to practice using the prefixes and suffixes.

Journal: Read pg. 97 to students. Compare and contrast George and Beneatha’s ideas concerning education. Is education something which should shape and mould you? Is it spiritual? Beneatha seems to imply this. George seems to believe that education is merely a process by which one gets a job. With which do you agree? How so? To what degree? Why?

We discussed the study guide.

HW: read Act 2, sc. ii-iii

Read and complete the annotations for “the Most Dangerous Game.” Be ready to identify the plot.
