April 14 update

So ... yeah. We did a fair amount of reading today.

In period one, we read from page 243 to page 270. We are almost finished the book, man .... wooo!

We also got a chance to see a bit of the film before the end of the period. Very exciting stuff.

I want to rant about "Why you shouldn't rely on a simple google search for answers to murder mysteries" ... but since the confusion and accusations are rampant around the room about who the murderer is at the moment are to my benefit, I'm good about leaving it all up in the air.

Just know that doing a quick google search doesn't always give you the correct answer. You will always  have to engage some basic reading and thinking skills, too.

Also, we heard this song being sung today in class:




In Period three, we had a much less smooth time, as we read to the end of Chapter 9, got the questions and then watch a wee bit of the colour version of Lord the Flies. I'm pretty sure that the link on the right of this blog will have the link to the film, so you can judge for yourself.

Here's the IMDB.com link for the 1990 version of the film. The actors there were actors before and after the film was made.
