ENGLISH
1. Lit circle #3 will take place on Thursday.  Your task is the following: draw a picture or diagram that represents a particular scene from the reading, or perhaps a theme or the conflict.  It's critical that the drawing reveals something deeper about the scene rather than being a realistic image.  For example, you can use symbols to represent ideas raised in the book.  When we get to the presentation of the pictures (lit circle #3), you will show the photo without any comments (at first).  You will then allow the other members to draw interpretations of the drawing before revealing your intentions.  No stick figures!

2. We are continuing our studies in advertising.  The summative task will take place the week after the grade 8 Quebec trip.  For tomorrow, you will hand in your paragraph explaining the LG ad.

3. Lit. Circle Reflection: Instead of asking his child, "What did you learn at school today," a father said: "What questions did you ask the teacher?"  Why?  What's the difference?  Is this wise?  100-150 words.

MATH
1. We did 8.2 today.  Homework: page 299 - 301: 1, 2, 3, 6, 7, 8, 10, 12, 13, 15
