Welcome back!

I graded your Expository essays; some were good and some were not.  If you fell into the "not" category, here is what you need to do.  First, look at my comments and make corrections; then, see me after school or during Advisory--I will not adjust a grade until I have had a face-to-face discussion about the corrected work.  If you cannot make corrections because of something you don't understand, I will be in my room until 3:15 every day this week and next (except this Thursday), and you can also ask for an Advisory pass; we can clear up any misconceptions.  The DEADLINE for revised essays is Friday, Dec. 13.  However, don't wait until the last minute.

We began a new unit; we will be doing a Reader's Theatre reading of the play 12 Angry Men.  Before we get started with that, we need to have some background information and vocabulary.  I wasn't able to create a link for the handouts we used, so see me and ask for the Agree/Disagree handout on your return to class.
