Myths, Legends, & Tales:  We will discuss "Dolphin Girl," a Greek legend.  Then we will connect the word origins from this story to another work origin assignment.  Look up your name (1st and middle) on babynamesworld.com to find the meanings.  Then use dictionary.com to answer the rest of the word origin questions.
CIS College Comp:  We will do ACT prep, and then we will go over two types of description: subjective and objective.  (Take notes.)  We will also discuss "My Mother Never Worked."  Don't confuse theme with thesis when we discuss this.
Speech: After vocab practice, read The Last of the Breed read for ten minutes. Then, I will explain the concept of FEEDBACK.  We will do a feedback exercise in which you draw a simple picture and then explain it to us.  We'll see if we can replicate the picture.  You cannot receive any feedback from us in this process.
Young Adult Lit:  .We will watch A Series of Unfortunate Events, part 2.  Today you will write your summary in Third Person Limited point of view.  Watch for examples of black comedy, as well.
Bible Lit:  Most of the seniors will be absent today (senior auction).  The rest of us will work on a Bible Dictionary assignment, learning how to research info with this reference book.
