Comp I 10th grade:  After vocab practice, we will take a quiz on the Subordinate Conjunctions list.  Then we will do a Review of Sub Conjunctions and the other comma rules we've covered.  [Fourth hour will go to the Media Center for Mapp testing instead.]
CIS College Comp:  First we will review the proper (and incorrect) use of semicolons because many of you are messing that up.  Then, we will discuss the two kinds of DESCRIPTION:  subjective and objective to help prepare for your next essay.  Read "Ground Zero" on Page 167, and answer Comprehension ques. #1 and Vocab Projects questions 2 & 3.
Myths & Legends:  We are reading two modern day legends:  "The Loch Ness Monster" and "Yeti" today.  Be sure you got the notes on Romanticism and Realism from yesterday.
Young Adult Lit:  Yesterday half the class was gone due to Life Sports, so today we will introduce the new novel The Pigman and start reading it.  Write your summary.
