TODAY'S LESSON AND HOMEWORK 

Theme for the Year: CONNECTIONS

Remember -- as you leave my classroom, 
be sure to thank someone 
for helping us have a good English class.

Homework Assignment
1.  Using alliteration in an intelligent, careful way, write one 8-sentence paragraph about your 9th grade year. Be careful to not overdo the alliteration. Use it so that it subtly enhances the paragraph without completely dominating it. Post this on Google Docs and share it with me.

   2. Memorize the first 7 lines of "Ithaka" by Thursday's class.
