Pre-AP
In preparation for Tuesday's quiz, on Monday we read through Bob Ewell, Mayella Ewell, and Tom Robinson's testimony in the courtroom scene of To Kill a Mockingbird (found in chapters 17-18). We also discussed the subjunctive, imperative, and indicative mood as they relate to subject-verb agreement. (For quick grammar hints, students can access http://grammar.quickanddirtytips.com/ and find many helpful grammar tips there.)
Homework: Students need to finish the "Bucket List" activity that we began in class. It is due tomorrow (Wednesday, November 9th). Students should also begin reading Chapter 22-31 of To Kill a Mockingbird (through the end of the book).

AHSGE Reading Review
We finished a discussion on figurative language and Freytag's triangle on Monday. On Tuesday, we read through a selection entitled "The Most Dangerous Game" and analyzed it by comparison and contrasting; we compared one of the story's main characters, General Zaroff, to the main character in The Hunger Games, Katniss Everdeen.
Tomorrow, we will have a test covering figurative language, Freytag's triangle, plot, comparing and contrasting, and cause and effect. Students should read over their notes that relate to these topics.
