SENIORS: We've been working on mentally stimulating the 5 senses; now you need to write about a character who has one of those senses missing and how the other remaining senses "kick in" to compensate.  For example, you could write about a kid who has been blindfolded before hitting a pinata.  Since he can't see, how do the other 4 senses work to make up for the missing sight?  You can create any situation in which a character loses one of his or her senses, or just go with the kid and the pinata.  Also, we wrote in Goodreads; share a favorite passage from the book you're reading (4 or 5 sentences) and tell me why you like that part so much.

 SOPHOMORES: You're still working on your short story; it is due at the end of the period tomorrow, so your HW is to continue writing.  Remember that you will be sending it to me on Googledocs.  Also, don't forget to tell whoever brings you to school that you need to arrive 5 minutes earlier (7:25 am) on Wednesday for the PSAT.
