Greetings Sophomores!
The year is speeding by! We have so many things to learn, and so little time to learn them.
This week you will have a quiz on vocabulary lesson 8, so bring your workbooks for review. We will also review verbals, including infinitives, which we have not yet practiced identifying. Expect a test on all types of phrases: prepositional, appositive, participial, gerund, and infinitive. Use your workbooks to study the examples from class.
We will also continue our study of early American literature, focusing on the history Of Plymouth Plantation and History of the Dividing Line. Expect to make graphic organizers (like the Pi chart I showed you for comparing and contrasting) to compare and contrast the texts and the information we know from the texts about Native American and colonial religions. You will use that information to develop a theory about why Byrd's satirical "history" includes a description of native religion. You'll also look closely at the language in the treaty between the colonists and the Indians in Bradford's history? Whom does the treaty favor?
And don't forget, this is the big week! Poetry Out Loud recitation is here! Good luck!
See you in class!
Mrs.
