Do Now: Based on your experience as an Overbrook student, what's the most important piece of advice you'd give a new student transferring into 11th grade? Remember, you've got the secret to success here at The Castle on the Hill.

Classwork:

1. Ben Frankilin 's account of his first day in Philadelphia allows his readers to make inferences about his character.
2. He is even more visible in his List of Virtues - the first of the 'self-help' best sellers.
Homework: Your turn: Pick one of Franklin's virtues.  You will attempt to follow the virtue or precept for 24 hours. Keep a time-line diary of your success or failure.
