Language Arts:

Today we began class with a grammar review identifying nouns, pronouns and verbs in sentences from The Hunger Games.  We corrected Simple Solutions #17 or #18 (Harvard/Princeton).  Yale proofread the summaries of the SCOPE magazine article on the Star Spangled Banner (ask your student where the song came from!)
We created a flash card for Symbolism.
We finished The Hunger Games movie and continued our analysis of the two.
Yale handed in purple journals.

Homework:

Yale & Harvard -- Simple Solutions #18
Princeton -- SCOPE article and 5-10 sentence summary

ALL
Complete chart pinpointing the three biggest changes between the Movie and the Book; what effect did each have;  was the change positive or negative and why.

Read your SciFi book, do a short summary and title.

Your essay on clothing should be complete for proofreading tomorrow.

Structural Analysis -- "frac" and "frag" -- examine these roots; find the definitions, find words that came from these roots, define them and list the part of speech (use the "lum" "lumin" example).  DUE FRIDAY
