  5. ANSWER #1 • Answer: A!! • Difficulty: Medium • Joshua's colleagues are described as having "conservative tastes" and frowning on his "radical ideas." Such colleagues are likely to find Joshua's ideas too "heretical," or too divergent or different from conventional beliefs and standards. Choice (A), then, is the best answer.

  6. ANSWER #2 • Answer: E!! • Difficulty: Hard • The structure of this sentence indicates that the words after the colon define or directly clarify what came before. The phrase "he excels at telling stories that fascinate his listeners" serves to define the missing word. Choice (E), "raconteur," is the only word that describes someone who excels at storytelling.

  7. Grendel : Seeing the story from the other side • In continuation of our discussion on “evil” and absolutes from yesterday, we will read a chapter from John Gardner’s novel Grendel. • This reading will be done in small groups and you will be given 30 minutes today.

  8. Reading Organizer • If finished with the reading, you need to grab a copy of the Reading Response Organizer from Mrs. M. • This should be completed individually and quietly with the book in hand for textual evidence.

  9. “Scops and Rappers” Group Work Session: • Today you and your members need to get at LEAST one full run-through of your performance. • Time is running out! You all need to start using your time wisely and having some fun.
