Tuesday, December 21 (E10)

Today's Objective: Students will read and analyze O. Henry's "The Gift of the Magi."


Today's SAT Word: Tangible (adj.): Able to be held or touched.

"My favorite tangible possession is definitely my cell phone."


Today's Soundtrack: "We Three Kings / God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen" performed by The Barenaked Ladies and Sarah McLaughlan

We have chosen this song today because the three kings from the nativity story are also known as the "magi" -- or wise men. In today's story, we read about the gifts of the magi, and a story that was inspired by their actions.


Today's Warm-Up Question: What is your favorite tangible possession?


Today's In-Class Reading Assignment: "The Gift of the Magi" (from the ninth grade L.O.L. textbook, p. 152)
