Black Day

HONORS ENGLISH
1. Vocabulary Test was taken today
2. College Essay: Today in class was a "writing day," since the class elected last Thursday to do this in class today. Time was allotted to write to the prompt "What does your clothing say about your identity?" Remember, of course, that "clothing" is a blanket term for clothes, jewelery, talismans, piercings, etc etc........(school appropriate). A printed out draft is due in class on Wednesday. We need it to be double spaced for our work shopping purposes.....

PUBLIC SPEAKING
1. Empathy/Body language in speech: We had a general discussion of how body language affects the way you come off in your public speaking....we went over the importance of inferential skills....we played "two truths and a lie" in order to see how we are "judged" by our classmates...
2. FOR WEDNESDAY, please bring in a short movie clip (no Youtube, etc) that is about 2 minutes or so. This clip should clearly demonstrate CONFIDENCE IN SPEECH as we have talked about this year. See me soon if you do not understand this!
