Happy Friday!

Remember: Amish Acres slips and money due this Thursday!

P. 1,4: We finally watched the Barefoot Bandit video! Here is the link for those who were absent or want to see it again: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cQpkUf3fyrw    Students made a T-chart and recorded information from the video and article to lead them to an opinion: Is the Barefoot Bandit destined to be a criminal for life, or is he the result of a poor upbringing and he will get help to turn his life around? We also continued with Tom Sawyer. Let's pick the important scenes and perform some skits!
No h/w

P. 2,5,6: After Tom Sawyer, we further explored the persuasive elements of the Declaration of Independence. The goal here isn't to know the Declaration inside and out, but to understand the elements that make it a persuasive document ( for example,ethos, pathos, logos). Good job diggin' in there!
