AGENDA 3/31

Quickwrite and discuss:
1) To what extent has America progressed in terms of racial relations since Huck Finn was written?
2) Describe a personal experience in which you (or someone you know) were acutely aware of your race, gender, ethnicity, or religion. How did you know that you "belonged" or "didn't belong"?

Turn in 3 rhetorical devices you completed over spring break using Huck Finn as your example.

ANNOUNCEMENTS: Select a practice AP test date for the first part of your final exam--Saturday, 4/12 from 9am to 1pm; Tuesday, 4/22 from 3:30pm-7pm; or Sunday, 4/27 from 9am to 1pm. Consider purchasing a copy of The Great Gatsby--it'll be our next book and you'll be writing a rhetorical analysis paper examining a passage from the novel, so you might want to annotate along the way.
