New Site

We're making a change to the way that we release work for our classes. The main lessons (the things that we'll do in class each day) will now be found at the site "Optimal Beneficial Moreover Detrimental: Classroom." We're keeping this site, with a slightly different name, in order to release a reading a day for students to practice their reading at home. Each post will contain a link to a reading, along with a list of assignments that can be completed for that reading.

2.1.1. Short Story "Gentleman of Rio en Medio"

Tonight's short story, "Gentleman of Rio en Medio," celebrates Hispanic Heritage Month and is the first new reading (The Giver will continue to be a core text for our discussion and thinking) in Unit 2: Values, Rules, Crime, the focus of our thematic discussions for the next six weeks.

After you have read the text, make sure to write a Five Finger summary of it. If you need review for this technique, search Five Fingers in the search box above, or check your own Google Drive for your own completed work.

Submit your work to me through Google Drive; it's due by midnight (not that I think that you should wait until 11:30 to get it done).
