English 8: Blocks 7/8

We started off the day with notes on verbs (passive/active and verb tenses).  After that, we finished our worksheet for "Tell-Tale Heart" and watched a short animation of the story.

Moving onto our next short story, we read the article "Doing Time", which is about a teenager conflicted with jail time. We then had a discussion on motivations and stereotypes of criminals (students submitted a worksheet for this). Finally, we read Langston Hughes's story "Thank You Ma'am".

Reminders:

• Thumbprints due today!
• Make sure you submitted you 'Motivations/Stereotypes' worksheet
