Good morning, gentlemen. How ready am I for Christmas? It's not even 8:50, and I'm already posting today's update. That's how confident I am about what's going to happen today. So, on with the show...
7th Grade/2nd & 3rd Period: Today we will do the quiz on minimizing dependent clauses, and then we will review for the test. The test will be Friday, unless there is overwhelming support for a Thursday test.
8th Grade/4th & 6th Period: Today we handed in -- er, some of us handed in -- the Michael Lewis zinger. Those who didn't do it, the assignments will only continue to pile up -- get them in! Then we did an in-class conclusion about Charles Kingsley's "Young and Old."
HOOPER PROJECT: Congrats to the most winners ever of a Hooper -- eleven guys snagged their three points by rattling off the names of the three Wise Men: Melchior, Balthazar , and Caspar. Well done.
Tonight, continuing with the theme of the week, another nativity Hooper. Five points to any Comper who can tell me: (a) where was the real Saint Nicholas from, (b) where did Christmas trees first become a tradition, and (c) in what city did A Christmas Carol take place? Good luck!
