Week Five English 10: September 6-9

Hello Sophomores!
I hope you had a great  holiday. I had family from out of town, so mine was busy but fun.  This is a short week for B days, so lets make the most of it.

In class, we will begin reading and discussing Native American Mythology, including creation stories. Bring you books to class!

We will review your tests on the parts of a sentence, and we will begin looking at prepositional phrases, how to identify them, and how they function.

You will have a vocabulary quiz on lesson 5 on Friday, so we will go over those words. Bring your workbook.

We will also look at at least one poem a day from the POL anthology. It's important when you recite your poems the last week of September that you pick a poem that speaks to you, one that you understand. To help you with your understanding of this type of writing, we will focus on paraphrasing, looking at connotations, finding shifts and explaining them, and tone.

Don't forget that progress reports go home Friday.

See you in class!

Mrs. SO
