Pre-AP
We are hitting the heart of To Kill a Mockingbird now, and we are making sure that we aren't missing any of the symbolism with which Lee filled her novel. On Tuesday and Wednesday, we had extra practice on comma and appostrophe usage, and then spent our time analyzing chapters 12-16 of TKAM. We used several of the devices off of the "grammar white pages" to see how Lee makes her story come to life.
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 these days' classes, we finished up talking about propaganda, fallacious thinking, and fact vs. opinion. We did several activities making sure we understood these concepts.
We also review how to find main ideas (directly stated and implied), how to find supporting details, and how to summarize a passage adequately.
