Today we took our Hunger Games exam. If you missed it, schedule a time with me to come make it up.

Also, three more important things:

1. I gave everyone instructions for how they can improve their grades on the vocabulary quizzes if they would like.

2. Vocabulary List (Pre-AP) – List 5

Vocabulary List (Academic and CP) – List 5

Here are your vocabulary lists for the week. We’re going to begin reading the short story “The Most Dangerous Game,” so these words come from that text.

3. Your homework is to read this article: http://blogs.scientificamerican.com/psysociety/2013/04/02/benevolent-sexism/

Then write about a paragraph in response to these questions: What is “benevolent sexism?” What is the problem with it? Answer using examples from the article and your own experience/observation. I recommend you write at least six sentences. At the end of your paper, write one thing that you can do to make benevolent sexism less of a problem. Underline this.

Your paragraph is due at the start of class tomorrow.

Hey there!

Since we’ve gone over the answers to the quizzes in class, here are the instructions you need to improve your vocabulary quiz score, should you choose to do so. Note that these are due no later than Friday!

Also, if you missed a quiz due to an absence it must be made up no later than Friday (you can make an appointment with me to come in during lunch or after school), or the grade may be recorded as a zero.
