Students took the second Huck Finn quiz and we graded it in class.
Afterwards, Mr. Potratz gave the entire class one extra point on the quiz for each mistake they could catch in his recitation of the original text (not the Duke's version) of Hamlet's "To be, or not to be" soliloquy.

Finally, students received a handout (see Documents page) with a revised schedule for the rest of the Huck Finn unit. Most notably, the due date for the essay is Thursday, April 2, not Friday, April 3, and the readings for next week are slowed down in light of the WASL.


HW due Monday/Tuesday:
Read Chapters 26-28. Compile quotations and commentary. Use your mornings Mon-Thurs to do so.





Thursday, March 12
Mr. Potratz was absent. Students watched the first 45 minutes of a PBS documentary on Mark Twain's life and took notes on it.
