Today we had some laughs as we read Dave Berry's memories of dating. Isn't he a hoot? We also look at the story and spotted the many, many hyerboles he used to get his point across. Then we attended to write our memory story, trying to emulate the writing style of Dave Barry. That was tough!
We also complete the DGP sentence for the week and I will be going-ove it tomorrow. DGP is due every other week, so its not due until next Friday. Today everyone also signed up for whichever summer reading books they read. Everyone was supposed to read one book from each column on the assignment. Tomorrow we will be discussing summer reading in class and breaking out into groups to discuss the novels and complete the packet.
We also talked today about the National English Honor Society. This is a service-based club for students who have a 3.0 GPA or higher (grades 10-12 only). We do a lot of community service, take trips to see plays, have public speakers, movies days, and the list goes on. It looks great on your college application and you earn a cord for graduation. Our information meeting is Monday (8/17) at 2:30pm in T-10. If you have any questions, please ask!
