7th Grade:  DOL - Clauses and phrase identification.
-Finish reading the story "Rikki Tikki Tavi" in the text.  Answer questions 7 and 8 on page 157.  Then read the information on page 159 about active and passive verbs. 
Homework:  Write a 1/4 page summary of the story Rikki Tikki in the most passive voice you can muster.  We will read these in class tomorrow to see how everyone did.


8th Grade:  DOL - Clause practice
-Finish reading "A Retrieved Reformation" in the text. 
Homework:  Write a 1/4 page biography of the detective Ben Price from the story.  There is not much directly stated about him, but there is quite a lot of indirect characterization.  What kind of man is this?  How can you tell?  Use examples from the text for the best score.


10th Grade: 
Julius Caesar Act III test.
Homework:  Read through act IV, Scene 3 for tomorrow.

Quiz on chapter 4, section 1 in the text.  See Mr. Hawley for make up quiz. 
Lots of current events discussions today, including:
-1st amendment Free speech discussion about a woman who lost her job for wearing an inappropriate Halloween costume to work
-Political campaigns from the 1800 election that were just downright NASTY between John Adams and Thomas Jefferson.
-4th Amendment discussion about New York police strip searching every person who is arrested for whatever reason.

-Then we started discussing the notes on the 5th amendment.

-Tomorrow, there is a test on the Philosophy of Government Notes.  Then we will begin discussing the Wyoming History Day project.  This is a very large and time consuming project.  It is not hard, but can't be done in a weekend.
