Interview Practice

This Friday in the morning, we will be going over the interview portion of the competition. I have already given all of you a form to complete and hand in to me tomorrow morning, and I do plan to prepare questions according to what you have written. I look forward to working on this part of the competition with all of you (this is one of the less intimidating parts of aca dec).

This Week's Focus

For this Thursday, we will examine Chapters Uno - Tres in Bless Me, Ultima.

Consider the following prompt for tomorrow: Identify and analyze some of the conflicts that Antonio faces at home, at school, and in his community? How must he reconcile the inevitable and dynamic predicaments of his present experiences in order to cross the threshold of human consciousness? Will he be ready to face his rites of passage?

We will concentrate on Writer's Workshop and public speaking this Friday.

I'll see you all tomorrow at 7:15 A.M. sharp!

-Mr. Whyte

Keep in mind that this is also an SAT testing day. Please plan to take this test on another date.
