Week NINE English 10: October 3-5

Greetings Sophomores!

I can hardly believe so much of the year has passed! We have lots to do in the one day we meet this week. I assigned reading of William Byrd's History of the Dividing Line for homework, and we will discuss that and create a graphic organizer to help you compare and contrast it will Bradford's Of Plymouth Plantation. Of the topics we will compare are Native American/colonial religion, Indian relations, reasons for settlement, style and purpose of writing, and tone.

If time permits, we will also review infinitives and infinitive phrases. Expect to review these next week if we do not get to them before the break, and expect a test on "the phrase" which will include infinitive, gerund, participial, appositive, and prepositional phrases after the break.

Have a safe holiday!

See you in class,

Mrs. SO
