- Pds 4 and 7; finished movie
- Went over Myth Exam
- Handed out essay questions for the Common Application. Students choose their own essay question for the sixth and last essay in this unit. Due tuesday for peer review. This should be an essay students applying to a four year school will use on the actual application.
- Handed out the directions for The Last Samurai essay. Period one had time to do some group work to prep for the assignment. periods 4 and 7 will have ten to fifteen minutes to do so tomorrow. This essay will be written in class tomorrow, Friday and Monday. As no computers are available due to pre-assessments (don't ask), essays will have to be hand written, although students may bring in laptops to work on it if they wish. As a result, this will be a one draft essay. The rubric will be adjusted accordingly to wait the content higher.

13. trite: no longer effective because of constant use, of little value
14. blithely: without thought or regard; carefree
15. atone: to make up for; as in a mistake or crime
