Thursday, November 3rd

Pre-AP
In today's class, we discussed how to use semi-colons and colons.  We also completed a graded activity to ensure comprehension of these two types of punctuation.  Following this, we started analzying the trial of Tom Robinson in To Kill a Mockingbird.

Homework: Students should complete the comma practice, found on page 766 of their grammar textbook, if they did not complete it in-class. Students should also finish reading through chapter 21 of To Kill a Mockingbird in preparation for their quiz on Tuesday. Also for the quiz, students need to make sure they understand how to use commas, colons, and semicolons; they need to understand the subjunctive mood; they also need to know all of their Words of the Day and grammar rules.


AHSGE Reading Review
In today's class, our school's senior counselor, Mrs. Coleman, came and talked to the class about college preparation, as well as take-taking skills. We also began discussing figurative language.
