Grade 12

• We've begun book 1, "The Sword in the Stone" from The Once and Future King by T.H. White and read through chapter 2.
• Each chapter should be summarized and analyzed in notebooks. Analysis should cover the usual literary elements, especially author's purpose, mythic and hero journey elements.
• Tomorrow is STAR testing once again. Once done, students will return to class and read chapter 3.

Grade 10

• We are up to chapter 19 in Catcher in the Rye.
• Yesterday we did some practice with writing thesis statements and constructed responses on Holden's behavior in chapter 18.
• Today: Holden often claims to hate movies yet in chapter 18 he goes to one. Why?
• Continue with chapter 19.
