Language Arts 12-2-13

Happy December

Today we completed Journal entry #1  "Booth's Reasons for Assassination" by reading a non-fiction article and bullet pointing key ideas.
We reexamined "O Captain, My Captain" and in team, examined quotes from "Lincoln: A Photobiography" to make inferences about Lincoln's character traits.  We began a character analysis which is due tomorrow with specific evidence from our readings.
All papers were handed back and missing assignment sheets were passed around.

Yale & Harvard took notes on the literary element: Mood.


Homework:
