English 10: Aug. 29-Sept. 2

Welcome back from the weekend, Sophomores!

This week marks the beginning of the end of one month together. I hope that you are getting into the swing of things. Since this is a B week, I will see you three times! I have lots planned to fill that time with hopefully educational and worthwhile activities.

On Tuesday, we will have look more extensively at sentence structure, including the parts of a sentence and the different classifications of sentences. We will also read several Native American texts and talk about archetypes, those things that recur in story after story after story.

Wednesday, we will review lesson four for your vocabulary quiz on Friday. We will also review the parts of a sentence for a test on Friday. If time permits, we will continue reading creation myths, including two Native American myths that are not in your book, the "Walum Olum," by the Delaware Indians, and the "Navajo Creation Story."

As noted above, we will have two grades on Friday, a test over the parts of a sentence, including direct and indirect objects, predicate adjectives, and predicate nominatives, and a vocabulary quiz. Be sure to study.
Bring your books to class. After your test and quiz, we will read an excerpt from William Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation, a history of the first years of the Massachusetts Bay Colony.
