April 25, 2016

IRT: ~10 min.
WNB: Article of the Week: STAAR glitches in Lewisville may be just the start of the mess

I reminded students that Golding wrote Lord of the Flies as a parody of R.M. Ballantyne's The Coral Island. (Read "Higher Bitesize" for more information about the connections between these two pieces.) We then examined an episode from "The Simpsons" as a parody of Lord of the Flies.

With the remaining class time, students worked on the humanity triptych project. I polled each class at the end of the period to see what they thought would be a fair due date; they overwhelmingly chose the beginning of class Monday, May 2. That means students will not have class time on Monday to work on the project--it's due when they walk in!
