ORANGE DAY

HONORS
1. Same as black.....a LOT of you were absent today....so make sure you see me and understand what is going on....you have your Claim Data Warrant response due on Tuesday. If you did not see Arrested Development with us in class, then your assignment is to pick a character from a show or movie you know well, and then make a solid, arguable claim about one of the characters. ALSO, we did not have the grammar quiz today, since so many of you were absent...we WILL have it on Tuesday (you should be prepared for it anyway!). IN ADDITION, you should have your preliminary thesis statement for your term paper on Tuesday.....we will go over them quickly and then go to the library.....

COLLEGE PREP 9
1. Romeo and Juliet
-perform modern retelling skits...
-give "mood writing sheets"....your assignment is this: Pick a character (any character you want) you can analyze in Act 5 of the play/film. THEN, decide which mood face is most prevalent for this character in Act 5.....take notes as we watch and analyze the film, since these will be collected as a participation grade....the writing assignment is to argue how your character displays the mood you chose (EXAMPLE: I choose 'angry.' Then, while watching the film, I take notes on all the examples I see of Romeo being 'angry.' I will then turn these notes into a convincing paper
-finish film together in class....
