Choices & Lucy

1 & 7: To begin class, you completed a multiple choice on "A Modest Proposal" that was created by another hour. In first hour's class, we did throw out 2 questions for accuracy so the multiple choice will be worth 33 points. For seventh hour, the total will be out of 36 points. Next, we spent time with Lucy and her family --- which is a surprise since Lucy and Ann spend the majority of their memoirs ignoring the existence of the Grealy clan. For homework, finish up the rest of Suellen's essay, or diatribe if you will. We will discuss the last page on Friday and then move on to counterclaims, rebuttals, and conclusions, or the remainder of the argumentative cycle.

2 & 4: We finished our first drafts of the educator/employee of the year nominations. If you would like to me to help with editing -- mechanics-wise -- bring, e-mail, or share a copy. After our drafting, you completed "A Modest Proposal" multiple choice constructed by first and seventh hours. The total will be out of 37 points. Last, we turned our attention to Lucy -- in her own voice and in her sister's opinion. For homework, finish reading and annotating the Suellen Grealy essay for tomorrow's discussion.

Don't forget the deadline for educator/employee of the year nomination is Monday, December 14.
