Language Arts 11-25-13

Today we completed a review for our Simple Solutions Test tomorrow.  Three sentences with directions and suggestions for studying were entered into our Black & White composition notebook.
We corrected Simple Solutions #35 & 36. 

Yale & Princeton handed in their Purple/Black Reading journals for grading.
Current Events was collected.

We took notes on Non-fiction.
We watched a short video on the Gettysburg Address, highlighted the parts of the speech we have to memorize to present to the class for a "speaking grade," and completed a paraphrasing exercise with a partner.

Homework:
Packets for Simple Solutions will be collected on Tuesday as we take the test on lessons 33, 34, 35, 36.
Grammar handbooks which we began last week are due  (write or type all bolded grammatical principles with an example if it would help you understand -- we are creating a grammar study guide).
Green literature book:  read page 780 "O Captain, My Captain" and complete questions #1, 3, 4
on page 781

Harvard journals will be collected on Tuesday.
