Today's quote is:
Only the educated are free.
- Epictetus
Do you agree? Why or why not?
Block 1: We had the first vocabulary quiz. New words were distributed and need to be defined by Wednesday. We discussed how we relate and connect to Young Ju, as well as the latest events in her life: she's got a brother - he could grow up to be President (but she tells everyone at school he died), they have a home (not as nice as they like), her dad has two jobs (gardening and cleaning law offices), and Young Ju is supposed to be teaching her family what she learns in school.
Block 3: Stereotyping.... We all do it. What is its impact on us and our communication? Today we will begin creating fake bios.
Block 5: The first weekly paper is due. What are the parts of an essay? How do they function? Why do you need them all?
We will also write about someone or something that is important to us.
Block 6: Oh, Oedipus - what have you done?
We will discuss the conclusion of Oedipus Rex, prepare for adventures with Antigone, and take our first vocabulary quiz. The new list should be defined by Wednesday.
Don't forget, current events are due on Thursday!
Mrs. Tyler
