I want you each to post one thing that you already know about Canadian Law and then one thing you would like to know by the time this unit is complete. We are starting our novel 'Monster' by Walter Dean Myers and our cross examination style debates today. Get ready for some crime and punishment!

You need to create your own! Need an example? Here is mine: "To teach is to always learn" Hey! Now that both classes have read "The Lottery", I want to know what you thought of it. Please be as specific as possible! What did you like? What did you dislike? and why?

For help wth some short story elements please use this study tool. It takes two seconds but will make a huge difference when it comes to the unit exam! I am going to have to book the lab or the ipads, so let me know what you want! I also do not mind if you work in pairs or groups :)
One of the literary devices we have been discussing in class is shown in the following quote:
Everybody doesn't have to get every joke. The history of TV has traditionally been not to do anything that would scandalize grandma or upset junior. Our solution on The Simpsons is to do jokes that people who have an education and some frame of reference can get. And the ones who don't, it doesn't matter, because we have Homer banging his head and saying, ‘D'oh!’-Matt Groening (creator of "The Simpsons") For your sponge activity today, explain which device is being used and tell me why you think it helps the success of The Simpsons? I want you guys and gals to tell me why you think Jamiaca Kincaid used such strange grammar in her short story? If you didn't notice, her sentences go on and on, and are sometimes difficult to read, because we are used to ending a sentence before it becomes a run-on and starting a new one. Ha ha ha I'm so funny... But really, why do you think she does this?
