LA - Journal #9 - What makes a person important? Students came up with criteria on what makes a person important. We then discussed the 3 important historical figures covered in class and used the criteria to prove out of those 3 who is the most important person. The information is first based on opinion and then they had to base facts on their opinion to prove or persuade that in fact that person is indeed important. This is all in preparation for their researched based persuasive essay. HW: thinking of a person that they think is most important to them in the last 100 years.

Journalism - I collected their "review" articles. (Sports, movie or restaurant). We finished our "lost at sea" team building lesson. Students came up with discussion questions to ask our guest speaker tomorrow.
