1. Everyone this week should have gotten a partner and an amendment from the Bill of Rights (Amendments 1-10) that you are going to argue "for" and "against." You need to come up with 5 reasons in favor of your amendment and 5 reasons against it. You will be debating in front of the class with your partners this coming week. Make sure to refer to page 222 and 223 in the textbook for persuasive rhetoric strategies.
2. On Wednesday many of you took the PSAT and I have gotten good feedback from most of you. I will continue to prepare you for the actual SAT and ACT as the year progresses.
3. We will finish watching "The Patriot" this coming week and will be doing a follow-up activity with it. (Hint: Remember how they wrote letters to one another.)
**I am closing my gradebook this coming Friday, October 22nd so make sure you have turned everything in and if you have been absent within the last two weeks get those admits to me in order to make-up any assignments you have missed.
