March 5 and 6, 2009

Class started with an explanation of the standardized heading we will be using in class. It consists of the following:

Name(first and last)
Period number
Title of Assignment*
Date

*Grammar assignments as follows: E of L. Chapter number. Exercise numbers.
Literature from text book as follows: A in R. Story title. (Reading Check) or (Study and Discussion)

Remember, not using this heading is as bad as not turning an assignment in for homework. Without this heading, you will receive a zero.

Then we took a walk outside in groups to discuss projects for Animal Farm. I will be making an official assignment next week, and you will have at least one week to complete the project.

We did a peer review, but those who failed to bring essays to class received failing grades for this portion of the class.

Lastly, we did a brief review of the excerpt from Mark Twain's "Life on the Mississippi."

For Homework:

take home quiz for "Life on the Mississippi"

outline Chapters 1 through 4 in Animal Farm
