Sophs: Homework and Week of 11-11

Continue reading The Greatest Generation. For each one of the personal stories, write in your notebook a concise 3-4 sentence summary, especially noting the heroic action and quality on which Brokaw focused. For Monday [11-18], you must have concluded the section entitled "Heroes." More on this in class on Monday.

For your BLOCK class this week, bring your vocabulary book and your copy of The Greatest Generation. You will have time to work with either during the second part of the class. Of course, you may begin work on vocab unit 5, working up through the "complete the sentence" section.

This week, depending on the days you meet, we will study Jim Valvano's speech, The Age of Reason (lecture), The Declaration of Independence (notes, reading, analysis, and video), and Benjamin Franklin (notes, reading and analysis).
