Today we reviewed section 5 in SPHE, then identified the errors in Essay 3, Point of View. The essay is due Wednesday, March 31.

I am going to get your essays back to you by Wednesday. I am going to try to return them sooner with comments. Students who need to revise the essays will use SPHE format, that is, create templates and write an essay in third person advising the writer how to get a passing grade. Students will also have to revise the essay.

We will do this when you return, so don't worry about trying to write the essays over the Spring Break. All I want you to complete over Spring Break is the book you plan to use in your book report.

Other homework for March 31, is to bring in the book you will be writing your report on next month, and to bring in a song, poem or short piece of writing by a woman to share.

There will be a cyber-assignment attached to this presentation. I have posted a link already with more details on the oral presentation March 31.

The morning class will have a guest, Ramona Jones, from Victory Outreach, who will speak about the Candlelight Vigil at City Hall Friday, April 2, 5-7 PM. The focus is on trafficking of women and girls in Alameda county.

Comments:
Today we had a guest speaker who talked about Human Trafficking. She spoke about some personal experiences she had with trafficking, and how it enspired her to give back and help yong people that are going through the same thing.I think her story can relate to the book "Half A Sky" because there where alot of Trafficking going on around the communities were these girls lived.
