A Story-we heard today of how a native American group, the Apache, traveled south to the Pima tribe, and there apologized for their ancestors raiding the ancestral lands of the Pima. A group today apologizing for deeds done over a century ago? What's the lesson here?Advertising-we began our unit with reading and discussion of advertising itself. We focused on-
What is advertising?
What is a target audience
Individual novels-we had 15 minutes to spend between the covers of a favorite novel. This is always a quiet time, with the silent buzz of students completely engaged.
The Giver-we moved to the house of the old where Jonas volunteered to help bathe the old, but at which he got some very information on the release of an older citizen, Roberto.
Homework-
1) Finish an advertisement using active, pursuasive language to sell a car to a selected target audience
2) Bring journals to class tomorrow so we can do our 15 minutes of writing.

Michael,
You really in Indonesia? This is John Peel and you've been following my blog. Because of the way my e-mails's set up, I couldnt figure out how else to get a quick message to you. Do you have a Durango connection?
Take care,
John
Mr. Hughes,
I think you made a mistake where you were writing about Roberto. My personal opinion about apologizing for deeds done centuries ago is that it's a nice thing to do, especially if your ancestor's activities caused serious harm.
See you tomorrow!
