English IV Homework and Project due 2/21

1.) Today in class we looked at a power-point about the author of Kaffir Boy, Mark Mathabane. We learned a little more about his life growing up in apartheid South Africa and also explored what the term apartheid really means. The point of this power-point was to give you more background information on the author and context for the chapter in Kaffir Boy we are reading. The chapter we are reading is from a much longer book so I wanted to cover some of the other information that was important about Mathabane's life and what he went through growing up. The reading of the chapter is due tomorrow, 2/21, and we will be going over the discussion questions on handout sheet.
2.) PROJECT CHECKPOINT #1 IS TOMORROW 2/21!! Make sure you complete 2 out of the 10 project options for this checkpoint. Your next project checkpoint, #2, will be in another week, February 28th.
