Friday, November 4th

Reauxll Tide Reauxll

Pre-AP
In today's class, we studied about subject-verb agreement.  All of our notes came from pages 166-179 of Elements of Language.  We also watched and analyzed Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have a Dream" speech, discussing how it shows the true nature of prejudice and racism in the country at the time.  Finally, we continued reading through Tom Robinson's trial in To Kill a Mockingbird.

Homework:  Students need to finish chapters 12-21 of To Kill a Mockingbird for the test on Tuesday, November 8th.  They also need to study all of their comma rules, semi-colon rules, colon rules, and subject-verb agreement rules.  Finally, they also need to be familiar with their Words of the Day and all of the "Grammar Rules" they received at the beginning of class each day.

AHSGE Reading Review
In today's class we learned about figurative language and Freytag's Triangle.  If you missed class today, you need to be sure to get the notes from a classmate you trust.
