Today was a regular schedule day!
Room 203 started off with perfect attendance!
In class, we completed an exercise in our Grammar Workbook reinforcing "participles" and introducing "participial phrases." Simple Solutions tests were returned; corrections need to be completed this evening. Those needing to retake this skill test can do so on Thursday morning at 7:15 a.m.
The two main concepts tested were participles and indefinite pronouns. Remember "somebody," "someone" etc. take a singular antecedent.
Poetry teams presented. We examined a variety of works by different authors and continued taking notes as we listened on key concepts such as "symbolism," "tone," "lyric poetry," "narrative poetry."
Begin reviewing the poems and their authors. Reread them. The final assessment will require you to do so. We should be ready for this test by Friday.
Items collected today:
Princeton: published "If I was in Charge of the World" poems and Guided Reading Sheet #1 for Thirteen Reasons Why.
Yale: published "If I was in Charge of the World" poem.
Harvard: published "topic" poem.
Homework:

Harvard -- be sure that novel has been completed and theme sheet is filled out citing evidence from your story. You will be writing a performance assessment essay on "theme."
Draft a "form" poem. See the poem on your handout that looks like a sailboat.
