Tuesday, November 15th

Pre-AP
In today's class, students took their fourth quiz on To Kill a Mockingbird.  They also completed a characterization activity where they created an acrostic poem using the name of one of the main characters.  These poems paint an accurate picture of the characters as we read them in the book.

Homework:  Students need to look back over all notes that they have taken or been given during our study of To Kill a Mockingbird.  Their unit test will be on Thursday.   It will cover the grammar white pages, commas, colons, semi-colons, the subjunctive mood, active vs. passive voice, the Harper Lee notes, Words of the Day, and all of the action of the novel.
