Beatle Grammar!  We worked on parts of speech, parts of a sentence, and sentence structures today with “All My Loving.”

 We discussed two assignments from the MLK “I Have a Dream Speech.”  The students will be working with the literary devices he uses to create a visual representation and complete a literary analysis.

 Each student has been assigned a line from the speech to represent in a visual format.  Please see the rubric for specific assignment requirements.  This assignment can be turned in at anytime, but the final day to turn it in is Wednesday, March 2^nd.

 The literary analysis assignment is being worked on in class as well as at home.  We will spend next week in the computer lab.  The assignment must be typed and will be due to me by the end of the class period next Friday, February 18^th.

 HIPPIE DAY is coming!  Tuesday, March 8^th!  Today, we discussed all of the volunteers and donations we will need to get ready for the day!  We are in need of volunteers to help set-up and/or take-down, lava lamps, bean bags, and “hippie” décor.  If you have anything that you will be willing to donate (of course it will be returned to you afterwards), we will greatly appreciate it!!

 Reminder: Visual for Literary Device – Due anytime until Wednesday, March 2^nd
