Hello everybody. As you can see, I am not here today. You've worn me to the nub, and I need a day to recuperate. (I actually need a year or so, but this is beside the point.)

Anyway, your assignments.

1st and 6th Hours: Get the two Lord of the Flies vocabulary sheets from the sub, and use the one (the definitions) to do the other (the two-sided fill in the blank page). Also, be sure that you have read pp. 1-28 in the novel. There will be a quiz Monday.

3rd Hour: Get the "Minister's Black Veil" grammar sheet from the sub, and do it. The sub will collect it at the end of the hour. Also, finish reading "The Minister's Black Veil."

4th Hour: If you've not already done so, get the new Things Fall Apart vocabulary activity. (Those who didn't attend the field trip have already done it.) Also, be sure you've read ch. 14-19 by Monday.

5th and 7th Hour: Click here to read "Young Goodman Brown." There will be a quiz Monday.

Enjoy my absence and behave. I'll see you Monday (hopefully).

Best,
Signor Brugioni

In some states, legislators have debated whether teenagers should be required to maintain a “C” grade average in school before receiving a driver’s license. Some people think this would be a good policy because having passing grades shows that students are responsible enough to be good drivers. Other people think such a policy would not be appropriate because they see no relationship between grades in school and driving skills. In your opinion, should teenagers be required to maintain a “C” average in school before receiving a driver’s license? In your essay, take a position on this question. You may write about either one of the two points of view given, or you may present a different point of view on this question. Use specific reasons and examples to support your position.
