It's Too Late to Apologize: October 22, 2014

W're continuing our work examining the Declaration of Independence today.  First, we all owe an ENORMOUS debt of gratitude to Will G., Peter G., Becca H., and Colin J., because they kindly stapled all the copies of the Declaration I needed to hand out today.  (Note:  I had to copy that document THREE TIMES to get it to copy correctly!!!  I apologize to all trees, everywhere.)  Here is proof of their dedication and effort on behalf of their fellow students:

There was some grumbling about "sweatshops" and "child labor," but I'm sure they didn't mean it :).

Anyway, back to class…. so just about everyone finished the task of identifying the four major parts of the Declaration and matching modern language statements with the correct part of the Declaration.  Most of you are at the point where you are finding the original language quotes and matching it to the modern language versions.  When you are done with that, you'll use your new learning to discuss the content and impact of the Declaration in small groups.  But that is still to come!

To wrap up class, we watched a parody of "Too Late to Apologize".  If you want your parents to feel old, show them this and ask them which musicians are being parodied in the "rock concert" scene….I was the only one who knew them in class, and no, none of them are Kiss!

HOMEWORK:  Nothing new tonight…but you will have an assignment tomorrow. Be sure to stay current with your English essay!
