February 9

English 10 (H block)

Today we skipped silent reading in an effort to catch up to the other 2 blocks.  We started off with creating a mind map with our poetry terms.  Then we went over the Poetry package assignment and some examples were shared.  

Humanities 8

Today we started off with a review about writing an expository (explaining) paragraph.  Next for sacred writing, students were asked to write a paragraph on an aspect of Rome.  The focus was to 

1. indent the paragraph
2. make sure capital letters and periods were used correctly
3. use a topic sentence

The remainder of the time, students were directed to make a crossword or wordsearch like we did for the religion unit.  This time they were to do the option they did not do the 1st time.  

There will be a test on Rome on Friday.
