- We introduced the next grammar unit - Subject Verb Agreement
- Then the students picked up the Finding Voices, Finding Utopia reader from the textbook office. While the students were gone, Mr. Leal & myself checked the homework: VFA #25-26 and the Immigration Notes
- When they returned, they worked on three sections of the grammar workbook: Subject-Verb Agreement pages 161-162, Exercise 1; Intervening Prepositional Phrases, pages 163-164, Exercises 1 & 2; and Linking Verbs pages 165, #1-20
- Mr. Leal then reviewed the answers to each of the grammar exercises
- We then read through pages 3-6 of the Finding Voices, Finding Utopias Packet. This included reading the poems "The New Colossus" and "Unguarded Gates". We also discussed Xenophobia, Nationalism, Racism and Anti-Immigration, and the students answered some questions with regard to these topics.
- We ended with an explanation of the chart that is to be filled out with each excerpt read.
- Homework: Read I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings (reader page 55-59) and complete the chart for ...Caged Bird... (packet page 1) by Friday April 22.
