8th Grade/6th Period: Today we worked on the Wilfred Owen P.J. Essay, too. No class tomorrow: Rec-Specs Friday.
HOOPER PROJECT: Congrats to Max Kiley for saluting his second Hooper of the week. Indeed, Max, Veterans Day in the U.S. is known as Remembrance Day or Armistice Day around the world, commemorating the end of World War I. And the oldest branch of the U.S. military is the Army. Well done.
Tonight, some Thursday Hooper window dressing. Three points to the first and TWO to each additional Comper who can drape their minds around this challenge and tell me the meaning of the following : (a) the Iron Curtain, (b) the Steel Curtain, and (c) a "curtain call." Good luck!
