Pre-AP
Colons and Semi-colons smattered our grammatical time together today. If you would like a copy of the Colon and semi-colon rule sheet, you can download it by clicking here. Besides spending time on punctuation, we finished discussing the last part of The Odyssey. Finally, we also had a guest speaker in class today. Dr. William Ulmer, who has served as the head of both the Honors College and the English Department at the University of Alabama, came and spoke about what it takes to be successful at the college level, especially in an English classroom.
Homework: Students need to finish reading Part 4 of The Odyssey (pages 1009-1018) and be familiar with the action that ends our study of this epic. Students also need to start writing the Voyage of the Dawn Treader essay that they were assigned yesterday. (For the essay prompt, scroll down this page to Monday's post.) The test on the final part of The Odyssey is on Friday, and the essay is also due on Friday
AHSGE Reading Review
In today's class, we continued with our occupational education lesson series by bringing in Ishmael Pruitt, head of the Little Friends Daycare program at Calvary Baptist Church. Several of our students are interested in early-childhood education and Mr. Pruitt came and spoke as to how to pursue a career in that field.
