May 15 and 18 including HONORS


Agenda:

To start, we visited the computer lab to complete the student survey on the Crespi website.

Then we reviewed the Chapter 25 Diagnostic Preview

Romeo and Juliet small group discussion

Romeo and Juliet Act III pop quiz

Romeo and Juliet Read-a-long through Scene 3 of Act IV

Homework:

Grammar Homework Options (Choose one):

-Type all the rules from Chapter 25 in Elements of Language.

or

-Create a punctuation superhero based on one punctuation mark from Chapter 25.
-Draw a picture
-type only the rules that pertain to your superhero's punctuation mark
-write a paragraph that explains the powers of your superhero

For example,

Parentheses Man may look hopeless with his skinny wings, but he is a very powerful superhero. Although he cannot fly, his skinny wings that look like parentheses are detachable. So, when he sees a crime in progress, he can throw his wings at a criminal and surround him in parentheses. After the villain has been confined in the parentheses, which in grammar indicate material that is of minor importance and can be removed from the sentence, Parentheses Man can take the criminal out of the crime scene. He then deposits the villain at the precinct, and the cops can take it from there.
