I trust you all had an exciting weekend. But remember, Monday is back to work time, so don't overindulge on the goodies. I have several things planned for you all this coming week.
- We will have vocabulary quizzes through lesson seven. We will also review vocabulary lesson eight.
- We will continue reading from our literature books, so be sure to bring them. Our reading over the next few days will focus on comparative texts. We will juxtapose William Byrd's History of the Dividing Line (which is actually NOT a history, but rather a journal) with William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation.
- We will comparatively read two captivity narratives, one of Olauda Equiano, a slave taken across the Middle Passage, and the other of Mary Rowlandson, who was captured by Indians during King Philip's War.
- In grammar we will review direct objects and learn how to identify indirect objects.
- We will also complete those AP style Multiple Choice questions we started.
- Unfortunately, I won't be here on Friday, Nov. 5, since I have another training session to attended. On that day, I will give you either more multiple choice questions or an in-class essay. Writing under time constraints is a skill you will need to master if you plan to take the AP exam in the future.
So much to do...so little time.
See you in class!
Mrs. SO
