Today's class Tuesday, March 31, 2009

Today we reviewed the correct answers of the interview with Lorraine Monroe once again. We also did another listening comprehension where nine people talked about their jobs, or their professions.

We started reading the first two diary entries from the book The Freedom Writers. It's the true story about students and their new teacher in Long Beach, Los Angeles. The book contains their own journals and their story was made into a movie starring Hilary Swank as the teacher. Check out the Freedom Writers' own website here.

Here is a trailer from the movie Freedom Writers that we will be watching in class later this term.



Your homework for Thursday is to finish reading the diary entries that I handed out today. Please come prepared to English class on Thursday even though you have a math test that day.
