Day 54

NINTH LIT

• Students completed their resumes in class, using their biographies to guide them.  These were turned in and will be graded.
• We then began the research portion of our research paper, using Trackstar to guide us to useful websites.  Students should ONLY use the websites on our Trackstar during their research.  The Trackstar website is http://trackstar.4teachers.org/trackstar/ and the track number is 437838.
• Students should have read to page 166 of "A Long Way Gone: Memoirs of a Boy Soldier" by Ishmael Beah by next class!

AMERICAN LIT

• Students reviewed poetry terms and took some short notes on them.
• Students had a quick intro to the poets Walt Whitman and Emily Dickinson before we annotated the poems "Song of Myself" and "Because I Could Not Stop For Death" as a class.
