Reading Assignment Chapter 1

Today we finished reading Chapter One for "Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry" and discussed the situation of the Blacks in Mississippi in 1933. Tonight for homework we will complete the sheet Reading Assignment Chapter 1 and answer the three Writing Forum questions in our Vocabulary/Notetaking Notebook. Please bring the completed sheet to class tomorrow with your notebooks.

Since Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday is almost here, we watched "The Witness" which recounts the events in Memphis, TN before the assassination of Dr. King. It was narrated by Rev. Billy Kyles who was with Dr. King at the Lorraine Motel on April 4, 1968.

Vocabulary test is on Monday, January 11, 2010
Only one set of quarter notes for Chapter 2 are due on Monday, January 11th, also. It is a great chapter!
