May 13, 2010 (Day 1)

Block D (1-4) Socials 10

Test Day!

Block C (1-3) English 11

We finished listening to the radio play.  Those who attended Tuesday's class read the essay by Prof Michelle Butler "The Martian Invasion" and wrote about a recent event covered extensively by the media which turned out to be false or was not really "news" (Eg. Michael Jackson's death).  Those who missed Tuesday's class read the New York Times and Ecuadorian accounts of the reactions to their respective 1938 and 1949 broadcasts and wrote a comparison of the two, followed by their answer to whether or not a panic like that could happen today.

FOR NEXT CLASS: Complete the homework assignment that was written on the board.

Block B (1-2) English 9

You glossed Alfred Noyes' poem,"The Highwayman" for poetic devices.
