English 9- Today I reviewed and slightly altered the expectations for the writing prompts that accompany The Most Dangerous Game. I need to see your graphic organizer and theme by tomorrow. Both writing prompts that you have chosen, your graphic organizer and reading analysis bookmark are due Thursday September 3rd.

Here are the writing prompts and a link to the web site to access the test:

Choose 1 of these:

A. Analyze and explain the impact of setting in The Most Dangerous Game.

B. Choose a character from the story and analyze their characterization and development throughout the story.

Everyone does this one:

C. Identify 3 topics from the story. Develop that topic into a theme and discuss how you identified that theme in the story. 

You need to include at least one quote from the text for A or B and 3 quotes for C.

English 10- Today I handed back papers and discussed things I noticed. We continued looking at the article The Milgram Experiment and I assigned the following Type 2 questions along with completing the annotations, bot are due tomorrow:

1. What was the goal of Milgram’s Experiment? What conclusion did he come to?

2. In what ways was the original experiment biased or not completely inclusive?
3. Consider what the results of the experiment might be like today. Do you think the results would be the same? Higher? Lower? Why?
