Period 6B

Posted by Mr. Varnum on 5th November 2007

We began term 2 with a type II writing: Should states revoke driver’s licenses of drop-outs and truants? Much discussion ensued.  Unlike other classes, most in this class supported such a law.

Following that, we discussed “Sinners in the Hands on an Angry God”

HOMEWORK:  Read pp. 68-71 and answer “Shaping Interpretation” questions on page 71.
