For homework continue in SPHE. Do the exercises on pages 52-67. Read up to chapter 4 in Half the Sky. Keep a reading log noting key ideas, vocabulary, and questions. The log should begin with a brief summary. These will be due with the essay when we finish the book.
Today, students turned in Essay 1: Sentence Punctuation. Students also emailed the essays to me. If you revise the essay, indicate such in the email. If you did not turn the essay in, put the words "late" in the subject section of the email.
The papers will be returned Tuesday. We also took the sentence punctuation quiz today. Someone in the 8-8:50 class forgot her book Half the Sky. I have it in my car (smile). Ask for it Tuesday.
Some students took the Felicia Pride handout from her book, The Message. Bring handouts back to class Tuesday, I need them back (smile). The freewrite was to read the reflection (chapter 53: I Need Love) and the lyrics to the song, "I Need Love" by LL Cool J, and respond to Pride's premise that people need love.
I didn't assign this yet, because we ran out of time. If anyone wants to respond to the assignment as extra credit, post in the "Love" section of the blog (below). I am also going to give students a link to the King speech, "Love Your Enemies." Read by Thursday, Feb. 18. It will be the topic of our freewrite.
Bring Half the Sky to class on Tuesday and Thursday next week with your notes.

Free Write: Reflect on Felicia Pride Book “The Message”
Felicia Pride talks about love and how people say they give up on love even though they shouldn’t. she talks about if people experience they love life in a bad way, they would always try to be to their self and not want to love anymore. Felicia discusses about her experience with love. She says it was bad, where she cried at times and how she got her heart broken also. Going through sad times, but still she points out that she not going to give up on love, shell takes time from not being in a relationship. But she wouldn’t just give up on love no matter how much she been through. I don’t think anybody should, because its something special, you experience a beautiful feeling. Love is something strong. Love does have ups and downs but that something everybody goes through.
