Hi Holly!!! How are you?
I am writing you because I just received an e-mail from you, telling that you are outside of the USA and need some money. Is it true? I do not know if I can trust in that mail.
The only way that I think is good to contact you is through this blog because in the information that I received tells you do not have telephone, credit cards and so many more things.
I hope you are doing well Holly.
Best regards,
Alejandro Guzman.

Today's debate
Congratulations to Rana and Zachary and to all of their fans in 5B! You did a great job in today's debate.
I want to thank Ali and Marta for participating in the debate, even though you didn't win. I wish we had time for the best 2 out of 3!
Keep arguing! Keep debating! Keep looking at all sides of the issue!

Good news: Reading test results
I am very pleased to report that the results on this final exam were quite good. Maryam didn't take the test yet, so these are the results based on 23 tests taken between the 2 classes. I curved the test 6 points, which allowed for some more A's and no D's.
90-99: 30%
80-89: 26%
71-79: 30%
61-69: 0%
51-59: 13%
The high score goes to David. Congratulations.
I will count this test twice and the supporting details test once in determining your final grade. I will also look over your previous scores on townsendpress to see if these can help lift your grade.
Question for you:
With such good scores, what can you infer?

Party at Lilia's Home on Thursday beginning at 6 p.m.
Thank you, Lilia, for hosting our class celebration. I'm REALLY looking forward to it (tone is HAPPY)!
Please let us know if you're coming, how many people you're bringing, and what you're going to bring to eat. Hopefully we'll have our very own little culture festival.
I will bring a very famous American dessert: BROWNIES. But these are not just any brownies. These brownies are so special that I have actually written an essay about them. If you're interested, you can read it:

Preparation for your final exams
1. Reading exam on Monday
The skills covered on this test will be purpose and tone, fact and opinion, and understanding bias (I posted my video which explains bias. If you missed class today, I highly recommend that you listen to it).
In order to be prepared, you should review the criminal justice vocabulary from the chapter on fact and opinion. In addition, you should review the adjectives that describe tone. Finally, the following words will appear on the test, so it will be helpful if you are familiar with them.
Words you might not know that you will see to on this test:
discretionary (adj.)
cynical (adj.)
due process (n)
implement (v)
oversight (n)
dismiss (v); dismissal (n)
adverse (adj.)
sacred (adj.)
privilege (n)
infringe (v)
patriotic (adj.)
2. Listening test:
Part 1 is on Monday. You will listen to a short lecture and take notes. In order to prepare for this, you should review the vocabulary in Leap, chapter 5. I recommend doing the vocabulary review exercise on the Leap website. There will be a vocabulary component of the test on Wednesday from Leap chapter 5.
Part 2 is on Wednesday. I will give you questions to answer based on the notes you take on Monday. Then I will play something new for you on Wednesday and you will take notes and then answer questions. I will give you vocabulary that you need to know for Wednesday as soon as possible. I might some listening material related to the Innocence Project. I'm not sure yet.
If you have any questions, post a comment or shoot me an email.
Just one more week to go. I know you can do it!
