SENIORS: The storyboard for your children's book is due TODAY.  As it is a rough draft, I will understand if it is not perfect; however, make it as complete as you can.  Now is the time to experiment with combinations of words and pictures; you can always change your mind. 
                                                     HAVE A FUN BREAK!

SOPHOMORES: I passed back the notebooks; one thing that I noticed for many of you is the LACK of Cornell Notes.  Do not blow this off; you will need your notes for the paper you will write when we get back from Spring Break.  You can still do them and turn them in for some credit.  We continued with notebook responses, writing about the following:
       Chapter 7 has a short flash-forward which shows us Elie in Paris.  What do the following people in that scene show us about human nature: 1) Elie 2) The woman  3) The children
       There is another scene in which a son takes a piece of bread away from his father.  Elie Wiesel ends that scene with the sentence, "I was fifteen years old."  Why do you think he did that?

        On the back of the B.F. Skinner interview is a poem written by an anonymous student from Columbine High School.  After reading the poem, do the following: This poem catalogs many contradictions in life.  Pick the three that stand out to you the most and explain why those three have more meaning to you than the others.  Also, which of these contradictions have you personally experienced and/or witnessed?

        I passed out another handout; on one side we learn about how John Locke feels about the nature of man, and the other side has song lyrics from Pieces of You by Jewel.  We had a class discussion about these pieces.  If you didn't get the handout, see me.
