Friday

Friday we finished finished margin questions C, D, and E from "How Private is your Private Life." Then we read the companion article, "The Privacy Debate" and did margin questions G, H, and I.
HW: Bring research paper materials from PE (if you have them).

Bias and Your Private Life

Today we began with a short look at bias and then wrapped up the vocab from page 21. We read the article "How Private is Your Private Life?" (starting on page 622) and did margin question A. More margin questions tomorrow.

Fact or Opinion

Today we had a look at differentiating fact from opinion in a short warm-up. Then, after going over some problem questions from the test review activity (which was handed in), we got started with the vocabulary on page 621.

The Privacy Debate

We began today by talking about the hot-button issue of internet privacy and then spent the second half of the period reviewing the Unit 5 test.

Wrapping Up MLK

We began the day by looking at how King acknowledged his opposition in his "I Have a Dream" speech. Afterwards we reviewed the the homework, added #4 from page 608, and handed both in.

Friday

We began class by doing the Vocabulary in Practice activity at the top of page 609 in our "Warm-ups" section. Then, after finishing MLK's "I Have a Dream," we examined the speech, finding and copying down an example of each of the following:

• Parallelism
• Repetition
• Analogy
• Loaded Language
• At least two of the Persuasive Appeals (from page 596)

Students should finish this for HW if necessary.

I Have a Dream... of Class without a Fire Drill

Today we reviewed argument and claim and started our look at MLK's "I Have a Dream."
