Word of the week this week is nostalgia (a feeling where a person longs for the past. Mr. Stevens was overwhelmed with nostalgia when he heard the Beatles song on the radio.)
We also learned what the word rapport means (pronounced RA-POUR -- how you get along with another person Surprisingly, I had a good rapport with my crazy neighbour.)
Students handed in their Blackout Poetry (or Spoken Word poetry).
We worked on questions 1-9 from pp. 80-99 on the Tuesdays With Morrie worksheet (below).
After break we went up to the IT lab and did a bit of a web search on Lou Gehrig. We learned about his farewell speech, and we completed the sheet (below).
