WNB: Article of the Week - "How to rig elections, the legal way" (Here's an image that helps explain the concept of gerrymandering.)
I returned the scored rubrics for the messages essay assignment. Students may revise this essay for up to half of the points back. Students who choose to revise should hand in a printed copy of the paper by Friday, 5/27.
We finished reading Act III of Julius Caesar. We analyzed Antony's speech for rhetorical devices and discussed which of the speeches was more effective. We also talked about the mob mentality that sets in at the end of Act III when the crowd kills a man who happens to have the same name as one of the conspirators.
