Language Arts:
Today we reviewed nouns by writing two sentences in our Black & White grammar notebook & finding the nouns.  We corrected together.
We took a page of notes on Themes & how an author reveals the themes through characters.

We shared vocabulary words found for "credere"  and shared current events stories.  We handed all in plus the online 8 exercises we reviewed on roadtogrammar.com.

We took our final objective assessment on The Hunger Games.   Yale & Princeton had the chance to continue watching the movie.

We handing in our Found Poems with luminating lines.

Homework:
Harvard:  Scope magazine article on how the Star Spangled Banner was written; write a one page summary (5 to 10 sentences)
Yale & Princeton:  Simple Solutions #17

ALL:
Read your Science Fiction novels.  You took the total number of pages and divided by 15;  this is how many pages you need to read each evening.
Finish your "body paragraphs" of our essay on Clothing.
Study your notes.

SKILL ASSESSMENT TAKEN LAST WEEK:
     come in early and write out corrections.  If you do, you'll have the opportunity to retake it on Friday afterschool.
