Today I gave back a few assignments. If you have any questions, please see me during homeroom. This is my prep time. You can email me to make an appointment to let me know what you would like to discuss and what day. I am also available after school, but please let me know a day ahead of time so I can make sure to set aside time.
Next we corrected the last of the vocabulary. I went over the structure of the test you will take tomorrow. Remember you will need to know how to spell every word as the first portion of the test is a spelling test. All of the words will be used once in the second portion of the test which will be a combination of synonyms, antonyms, and completing the sentence. If you study and know the definitions, there shouldn't be any surprises.
Finally we ended class by taking a look at a clip from Dove products. The video made us think about true beauty and how we choose to define it. We also questioned the media and how it changes our self-perceptions. The media changes reality to make PERFECTION.
