...at least I think he is. Thank you for your hard work on the Banneker prompt today. Not gonna lie - it's one of my favorites. As a heads up for those of you who like to know what's coming around the corner, we will be using the model essays from College Board to help inform our reading next week, so be sure to read them, check them out, print them, etc.
Tomorrow we have the final round of SAS for the first six weeks. And while I have your attention, the STD presentation is next Friday 10/21 and the PSAT is on Wednesday 10/19. I have to proctor the exam so periods 1-4 won't have class with me...Who will you be with? I have no idea. Use the time to read, prep for SAS, work on the model essays, study rhetorical devices, etc.
Daily Journal is below...And your 6 weeks reflection is due tomorrow. TYPED. HARD COPY.
Daily Journal #25: "Forces are lined up (internet, television, movies, advertising, just for starters) that tell us who we are is not about how hard we work, how curious we are, or how much we are willing to make a positive difference to others and to our world in distress. No, these forces say: You are what you wear, what you buy, how thin or buff you are, how many like you - on [social media] - or for the elite college bound - where you go to college. When we focus on the wrong things, we create conditions for monumental cynicism in our kids." - Michael K. Mulligan
