English 1 -- Today in class, students examined and wrote about some great quotes that were "spoken" by Helen Keller (2nd block will do this next class since they finished up Blind Day this period).  Next we reviewed The Miracle Worker by going over the Act 3 notesheet that was completed before Spring break.  During the last part of class, students received an assignment sheet and an explanation of the analysis paper they will be writing during the next couple weeks.  Students wrote the thesis statements for their papers in class.
