Class began with students writing and sharing their writing on the prompt: Write about a time that you found faith in someone or some thing. (One academic "trick" is to write the opposite of what is assigned when a prompt doesn't work for you.)
The class then reviewed the analysis of "Salvation" by Langston Hughes that was done as homework.
Mr. Zartler reminded students of the Indpendent Reading assignment for this quarter and introduced the available titles with the following:
