As I mentioned in class, the West U Rotary Club is sponsoring a scholarship program to send students to other countries for either the summer or an entire academic school year. A representative from their organization will be coming to the Bellaire HS library to talk with interested students and parents on Thursday, October 13, at 6:00 PM. Please send me an email if you would like to attend so that I can make sure that we have enough copies of materials.

We continued our small group discussions of The Joy Luck Club today. For the second half of the period, students continued to work with their groups to do a rhetorical analysis of The Rape of Nanking. Homework for tonight is to prepare the individual portion of the discussion guide for the third short story, “The Red Candle” (jlc-rg-3-the-red-candle).
