James Thurber
“I think that maybe if women and children were in charge we would get somewhere.”
― James Thurber
The author and cartoonist James Thurber was the focus of Friday's vocabulary quiz story. Using the vocabulary terms and the context clues, you learned a little bit of biographical information about him. Some of you may remember his short story, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty", which is coming out on film shortly.
If interested in a blog bonus, find a quote or a cartoon by James Thurber and apply it to a personal life situation. Explain the quote or the cartoon and identify how it connects to you personally.

Scrabble Fun
Once or twice a year, English 11 likes to play a modified Scrabble vocabulary game. 8th period was victorious as they problem solved 37 out of 40 vocabulary terms on our "Scrabble board." (Period 2 came in 2nd with 35 and Period 4 came in 3rd with 25)
Great efforts! Thanks to those who participated in all classes.

"The Gettysburg Address"
To help close off the quarter, English 11 was asked to create digital projects of "The Gettysburg Address." Stupeflix and Prezi were common technological resources used.
Although just under two minutes in length, Lincoln's speech had a huge impact on the audience. It will forever remain an icon in honoring those we lost in the Civil War as well as in any war!
Here are a couple of examples.
