Toga Day!

Today we started with a short warm-up and then read through page 214 in the story "The Necklace," doing the margin questions as we read.

Status

We started with a warm-up about the idea of social status and how it is determined at EHS. After reviewing the notes and HW from yesterday (and turning in that HW), we added the vocab from page 207 to the "Selection Vocabulary" section of the binder.

Unit 2 Intro: Part 2

Today we finished the Unit 2 introductory notes and started on the close reading questions (on pp. 187, 189, and 190) which should be finished for HW.

Unit 2 Begins

Awash in tie-dye, we began Unit 2 today, adding the notes from pages 186, 188, and 189 to the "Notes" section of the binder.

Wrapping Up Unit 1

Today we continued where we left off yesterday with our work on "Incident in a Rose Garden." We also talked a bit about the Unit 1 Exam which will be tomorrow.

A Bit of Poetry

I returned warm-ups today and we had our first new warm-up, a review of poetic terms. After finishing and handing in the vocab assignment from yesterday (below), we read "Incident in a Rose Garden."

MDG Vocab

Today we handed in the MDG work from Friday and Monday and I collected the compare/contrast essay. We worked on the vocab on page 76 and then talked about connotation and denotation and did the exercise at the bottom of page 76 to end the period.
