BRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr….It’s cold out there. I just got home and didn’t feel like cooking, but also didn’t feel like going out in the cold again and getting anything, so Chinese food delivery, it is. Thanks, Delica for helping me after school!!! You’re awesome!
SAT Prep: Today, we took our last “to be” verb quiz, and then you took notes on improving sentences.
HW: Linking verb quiz tomorrow.
American Lit.: We took notes from Unit 2 — The Age of Reason from your book. I made sure to model for you how to take notes and asked you questions from the select paragraphs you read. Then, we read Jefferson’s “Declaration of Independence.” I assigned many of you a section of the document to stand up and read.
HW: Revise “Smoke Signals” essay and work on research.
Due Friday: narrowed down research topic, three documented sources, and a working thesis for a QUIZ grade.
10th honors lit.: Today was RAPID fishbowl day. You had to discuss nine chapter (16-24) in 40 minutes! With your assigned group, you spent five minutes discussing the following in each chapter: significance of character/plot development. I walked around a few times and observed each group.Then, I called a couple of groups and individuals to comment on your discussion. You took notes with your group and when other groups were presenting. Good job!
HW: 1. Vocab. Quiz #4 tomorrow, Ch. 25, and bring one printed out source for your research paper. (the info., not just the online journal or website).
That’s all folks!
