Today, first hour and fifth hour English classes finished up their work on the analysis essay. Second hour English and fifth hour English students read "The Trouble with Television" on page 667 in the literature book, and then started answering questions #1-4 on page 668. This is not homework, and we will finish these questions tomorrow in class.
