You can either do a power-point presentation or a poster to explain your terms. We will have a quiz over the information on Wednesday. Depending on how many permission slips I get back, we will either watch Amistad or a different movie on Thursday and Friday.

We have a busy week. We will continue to read from Persepolis every day; however, our main focus will be the Argumentative Essay. On Monday, we will review the story "A Problem" that will serve as the basis of your essay. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we will cover two additional articles that relate to the subject of justice. On Thursday and Friday, we will write the essays in class. Also on Tuesday is the Vocab quiz. Study the fill in the blank worksheet that we did in class on Friday to prepare for it.
