- As usual, we started the period with a bit of grammar. Today we examined Noun Clauses. The students completed page 115-119 (odd #'s only for exercises 1, 3, 4). We then reviewed the answers.
- We quickly transitioned to our final discussion of Steinbeck's Of Mice and Men. We finished talking about "Underdogs", then moved on to "Is He Right?" During this discussion I introduced the different moral philosophies and we talked about all of the potential alternatives that George was faced with.
- We spent the end of the period discussing the final essay prompt. I walked them through the necessary steps to prepare and write an in-class essay in 45 minutes. The essay will take place in class next time.
- Homework: Study Vocabulary & Spelling #15-16; Bring your OR Book and your OMM Book; Complete and bring your OMM packet; Write the Introductory Paragraph for your In-class Essay.
This blog is meant to keep my Composition & Literature students updated on my class. If you forgot what we did in class, or if you were absent, please check in here to find out what happened in class. This will be updated at the end of each class day.
