Comp I:  After vocab practice, we are working on Paragraph Unity (staying on topic).  Tomorrow your Chap 8 To Kill a Mockingbird Discussion Questions are due.
CIS College Comp:  Mr. Bruce Eastman from Central Lakes College will be our guest. First, we will discuss review "Exemplification" in preparation for writing our essay.  Then, we will briefly discuss The Peter Principle.  Afterwards, I will assign you to a group to work on "Samuel."  Discuss the questions and prepare to report back to the group later. If there is time, we will also do some Adjective clause review.
