St. Patrick's Day

We reviewed the extra-credit "Tolo" assignment and drew lessons from it for how to and how not to conduct internet searches for information.

Students produced concrete details from Chapters 26-28 of Huck Finn.

Mr. Potratz announced, explained, and with students' help modelled the Character Spotlight which we will undertake on Thursday. Volunteers signed up to earn up to 15 points extra credit by impersonating Huck, Jim, the Duke, the Dauphin, and Mary Jane Wilks and answer questions about themselves.

Mr. Potratz announced that on Friday he will check and stamp Quotation/Commentary Sheets and that students need to have completed at least three of the seven sheets (not necessarily the first three) to receive full credit. All seven sheets are now available on the back table.

Students worked individually on their quotations and commentary.
