Language Arts:
Today we took notes in our Black & White Composition notebook on the Review on Lessons 49-52 for the Simple Solutions test on Monday. We practiced key concepts for the test such as pronoun-verb agreement, prepositional phrases, relative pronouns, parallel structure, active/passive verbs.
Students took a review quiz on 7 key genres that arose from the oral tradition.
Yale and Princeton did a team review of genres using small whiteboards. Both groups designed two choices for book reports for their realistic fiction novel.
Harvard completed readers' theatres for "Souls in Purgatory."
