English 10 (H block)

Today we had a shorter silent reading session.  We reviewed rhyme scheme, sonnets, paradox and understatement in detail.  We also reviewed the sorting of terms and reviewed definitions.  Finally, students were given the opportunity to practice the identification of devices using pop culture examples.   

Test is tomorrow!  Those that are absent tomorrow will be expected to write their test at lunch on Monday.  

Humanities 8

Today we started off with a mini-lesson about punctuating dialogue.  Next students worked in pairs to write an entertaining dialogue using the appropriate punctuation.  Next we reviewed the comparison work students started on the Franks vs the Vikings.  Finally, students were introduced to the mapping assignment for Western Europe.  This will be due on Monday!
