Pre-AP
Grammar, grammar, grammar! Even though this is an often ill-sought after subject, our class centers around grammar's importance in our everyday life. This is also an issue in the novel we are reading, To Kill a Mockingbird, and whether or not someone speaks proper grammar says a lot about their character and upbringing.
This being the case, we spent a lot of time in class today on several close-reading devices that, when used properly, help to increase our understanding of the works that we are reading and writing about.
A copy of the grammar "white pages" that we used for the lesson in class today can be found by...

Homework: Students need to familiarize themselves with all of the terms on the grammar "white pages" and finish reading chapters 8-11 in To Kill a Mockingbird, to get prepared for the test on Monday, October 31st. (Please note, this test has been moved to Monday. It was originally scheduled for Friday, October 28th.)
