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.
