Period F
Monday, September 9
Period B
Today we continued the New Beginnings unit with two more readings.
We took background notes on the two authors: John Smith and William Bradford. Then we read parts of the stories. This is all outlined on the handout, which is in the handouts folder. The questions are there as well.
Then you took a grammar pre-test over subjects/predicates. If you didn't get a 19 or a 20 on it, you need to complete pages 41-46 in your grammar workbook, exercise 1 only on each page. This is due next class.
Period E
Our Unit 2: New Beginnings unit is coming to an end, so we reviewed both handouts. I also asked you to find two quotes for #2 for the William Bradford story to support your answer. We have one more story to read in this unit, then we'll complete the unit wrap-up (but you got the handout today--see handouts folder).
To commemorate the anniversary of September 11 this week, and to complement the explorers' writings we've been studying, we read two firsthand narrative accounts of survivors of the attacks in New York City. Then we watched videos featuring interviews with survivors of the attacks.
In your grammar groups, you went over your homework pages and there will be a quiz over subjects and predicates next time we have class. Here is what you can do to get ready:
- Review pages 41-46 in your workbook
- Watch this video on subjects and predicates
- Review using this page (don't forget the quizzes they give you here and here)
- Here's another quiz
- And one more quiz
