English 10: February 21-24

Hello Sophomores!

I hope you had a fine holiday weekend. Now that we are back, we really must focus our attention on preparing for the fast-approaching graduation exams. I particularly would like to focus on comma rules, semicolon rules, and colon rules this week. Be sure to bring your workbooks.

We also will be reviewing the vocabulary for lesson 17, and we will have a quiz on that lesson on Friday.

In reading, we will focus on finding main ideas and reading for details, patterns of ideas, and word meaning in from context clues.

In literature, we will read Patrick Henry's speech to the Virginia Convention and, if time permits, Thomas Paine's The Crisis No.1.  After reading both texts, we will create a graphic organizer to compare and contrast the two.

See you in class!

Mrs. SO
