Week of Sept. 29-Oct. 3, 2014

We have arrived to the sixth week of the first six weeks.  In the first chapters of "Esperanza Rising" we found out that her father has been killed.  Was Sixto Ortega murdered by bandits or his step-brothers?

This coming week our students will be taking their six weeks exams.  I will be administering my exams on Tuesday and Wednesday of next week.  Students must study and be prepared. 

Exam for Honors Literature will include:
"The Dog of Pompeii"
History of Pompeii and Mt. Vesuvius
The Great Depression
Intro, chapter 1 and 2 of "Esperanza Rising"

While reading the first chapters of "Esperanza Rising" we learned about several cultural traditions that her family held dear.  What are your opinions on these traditions?  Do you feel that these traditions are still being honored in Mexico?
