English II, Second Quarter, Eighth

Last week we did assessments, played catch-up, and watched Bend it Like Beckham with the goal of understanding cultural conflicts (problems). This week & next, we'll finish the movie, examine SMHS subcultures, take a close look at cultural stereotypes, and analyze the Diagnostic Assessment we took last week.
