PSSA Science testing is happening this week, so class meeting times will vary.  This week we will continue our study of literature from the Modern Period.  We will discuss "In Another Country," (pp.808-814) by Hemingway and "The Night The Ghost Got In," (pp. 989-902) by Thurber.  We will also discuss the authors of these short stories and the literary devices these authors used in their works.  You will take a quiz on each of these selections.  On Friday you will use class time to read and outline "Prosperity and Protest," pp. 958-965 in the literature anthology.
