I collected all the plays.  Every single student was prepared with the right amount of copies.  Awesome!  We went to the cafeteria so they could practice for Tuesday's performance.  Monday we will start vocab again.  Next week will be dedicated to finishing up the plays.  We won't work on them again until December.

Daily Drill
We began brainstorming our next prompt, "fight the good fight."  I will make the prompt page next week.  I have a lot of work to do for sections 1 and 2 this weekend. 

In class we are watching some scenes from Speed Racer and Malcolm X.  In both of those movies, the lead character has something important to fight for. I am trying to get the students to think about something they would like the class to start caring about.
