Pre-AP
It was a grammarpalooza in today's class! To begin with, we learned about the three types of sentences in the English language: interrogative, imperative, and declarative. After working through an exercise dealing with this concept, we then moved on to a review of subject/verb agreement as well as a new lesson on conjugating irregular verb forms.
Since this can be a difficult subject, I would encourage students to not only review the chart in their notes of the specific verbs I gave in class, but I would also encourage them to take advantage of this website (click here) which not only lists irregular verb forms, but also provides online flash cards for additional practice.
To finish out the class, we finished analyzing chapter 10 of Lord of the Flies.
Homework: Students should review chapters 9-12 in preparation for the test they will have on Tuesday, December 13th. They should also review their grammar notes. To look ahead, students should also begin reviewing all Lord of the Flies and grammar notes for the Lord of the Flies unit test, which will be held on Thursday, December 15th.
The semester exam schedule is as follows: 4th block will take its semester exam on Tuesday, December 20th and 1st block will take its exam on Wednesday, December 21st.
