The Power of One

Hey Team,

We are starting a new book together. I hope that you enjoy it, as it is one of the coolest books I have read recently, and really gives some insight into life in South Africa.

The Power of One is about a young boy growing up in rural South Africa. For this class you will be responsible for reading "Book One" in the novel (the first 320 pages). You will have ongoing assignments and we will try our hand at another essay towards the end of the novel.

The reading schedule averages out to about 11 pages a night, with some extra days in there. To get the schedule ...Click Here... This link also has the background information on our presentations to get ready for the book.

Questions or concerns, please let me know!

Kite Runner Quiz-ish-type-thing #2

Hey Everyone,

Since many are gone on spring break early, I wanted to post the second quiz for Kite Runner so that you could get a head start on it.

The quiz follows the same format as before, give me a one paragraph response to one of the questions stated.

I will remind you to try to keep it short, organized, and powerful.

Please let me know if you have any questions


Mr. D
