Language Arts:
   Today we completed two review flash cards:  Literary Elements:  Tone  &   Mood
   We listed to the excerpt "Civil War Journal" by Louisa May Alcott. We began a journal entry #6 --
Civil War Journal --
Identity (tonight we have to chose which individual who lived through the Civil War "we will become" as we write a journal entry tomorrow.  You need to include 2 to 3 sentences identifying yourself -- if a Union Soldier, who is your Captain/General?  Which battle did you just fight? Win or lose?  etc.)
   We began our notes on PLOT and began memorizing the 5 components of plot.

Harvard corrected SS #23.
All sections had a visit from DeLasalle H.S.

Homework:
Continue reading your SciFi novel (tonight is section 14; write your summary, give it a title).
Simple Solutions #24
Test corrections on Test #5 in Grammar due tomorrow as well as retakes (must be taken at lunch or in the morning)
Journal entry -- identify yourself (see above)


Be checking the portal;  any difficulties with grading see me by Thursday.  After that it is TOO LATE!
