Comp I:  After vocab practice, we are working again on creating outlines from info given. Look over any errors you made last week on your outlines.  Read Chap 12-13 in Mockingbird and answer the discussion questions.  Here is the outline form again if you need it:  Outline Form
CIS College Comp:  First we will review ACT Grammar we've covered so far.  Then, I will introduce Dangling Modifiers and how to fix them.  Also, read "Get it Right: Privatize Executions" and answer questions 2 & 3 under Purpose and Audience.
Myths & Tales: We are starting the story "The Cheaters."  We will listen to it on tape because it is complicated to read.  Pay attention to the colloquialisms in the story.  Answer discussion questions on Parts 1 & 2.
Young Adult Lit:  We are starting a new novel The Devil's Arithmetic this semester.  The "A"-Contract novel is The Good Earth.  Today, I will introduce the book and we will read and summarize what we have read.
