Comp/Lit 10: 12/13/2010

Of Mice and Men, Chapters 5-6

• The students took a reading comprehension quiz covering OMM Chapters 5-6
• Immediately following the quiz, they completed, pages 111-114 in the grammar workbook-Adverb Clauses.  We reviewed the answers as a class.  We also reviewed the definitions: clause, phrase, adjective, and adverb.
• We then corrected the chapter 5-6 quiz as a class.
• At that point we finished discussing the "Assuming That..." worksheet.
• The students then had about 20 minutes to respond to the prompt at the bottom of the "Assuming That..." worksheet and get started on the "Underdogs" chart.
• We spent the rest of the period discussing "Underdogs"
• Homework: Finish "Is He Right?" (packet page 13-14); Finish "Off the Fatta' the Lan'" (packet page 16); make sure that each theme has at least one quote.
