Day Thirteen

Tuesday February 11 - Periods B, E
Wednesday February 19 - Period F

Today was the quiz over quotation marks.

You finished reading "The Minister's Black Veil" and answering the questions. I will grade the questions not just for completion--but for accuracy! Please answer them completely! You were able to take home the story and questions to finish over the Street Scenes break if you didn't finish in class. It is due when you walk in the door next class! The handout for this assignment is in the handouts folder (over on the right - it's called "Anti-Transcendentalism") and you can Google the story if you lost your copy.

Today we looked over our sound device worksheet on "The Raven" as we watched a video on Poe.

Then we took notes on another branch of the Realism tree--the Anti-Transcendentalists. We watched a video on Nathaniel Hawthorne and began reading his short story "The Ministers Black Veil."

Finally, we took notes on quotation marks and you did the following in your grammar workbook:
