Week 3/11-3/15

Last week, students took a site argumentative writing assessment. This assessment allowed students to "show what they know" and practice the argumentative essay in a testing situation prior to the SBAC. Students seemed confident in their writing abilities without the use of notes and/or guides during the assessment. English teachers will get together and score all of these essays this Thursday.

This week, students will start the third and final part of Fahrenheit 451: "Burning Bright." The biblical allusions in this part are heavy, but I know that the students will be able to pick them out, research what they mean, and critically analyze why Bradbury decided to include them in this novel.
