Week of 3/2

Was Tom Robinson given a fair trial?  If so, how?  If not, what was unfair?

Class Participation Week of 2/23/15

Last week, we discussed Atticus' "Laws of Life" in class and shared some of our own.  What is a "Law of Life" that you have seen in the media (television, movies, music, etc) or read about in a book (either fiction or non-fiction).  Does this law of life apply to you?  Did you follow it before seeing it in the media or literature?  Do you plan on following it now?  How do you think your life may be different if you follow it, or if you already do, how would your life be different if you do not?  (Note: Feel free to respond to only one question above, or as many as you'd like to reach the full response requirement).

Class Participation Week of 2/16

Who is someone in your life who has inspired you?  How did they come in to your life?  How well do you know them?  Why did they inspire you?  What actions or advice of theirs do you admire and why?

Welcome!

Welcome to Miss Benedetto and Ms. Francis' CP English III blog.  As part of our class, you will receive a grade for participation on a weekly basis.  For those of you who do not actively participate in class, you may respond to the weekly blogs posted here.

Questions will be posted by SUNDAY each week, and you must respond by FRIDAY to receive participation credit.

Acceptable responses are a minimum of 1 well written paragraph.  They must include at least 1 specific example from the text, or make a text to text, text to self, or text to world connection.  Spelling, grammar, and mechanics will be taken into consideration.
