What's going on with Simon? and other inquiries

Our agenda today:

1. Literacy Letter
2. A short video about Hurricane Katrina
3. Continue looking at the Katrina Superdome article (just the last page)
4. A close look at a passage from Chapter 8 in Lord of the Flies
5. A little bit of writing in your English Journal

A few things to write in your English Journal in complete sentences. (Make sure to include today's date, and this goes at the top of the document) It is expected that for each of these questions, you write at least 3-4 sentences, and develop your thought fully. If you do not finish in class, it is homework:

1. In the Superdome article, why did the author choose to end the article by talking about Samuel Thompson, the violinist?
2. After looking at the excerpt from Chapter 8, answer the essential question: What happens to Simon in chapter 8 of Lord of the Flies? How do you know? Why is it significant? (Support your answer with evidence.)
3. What does Simon say in Chapter 7 about the beast? What does he think the beast is?

Homework:

1. Read your book love book
2. Make sure you finish the English Journal entry above.
3. CLEAR YOUR ZEROS (I'm here after school today.)
