We had more ITBS testing today, which means we didn’t have first period.

Second period held the trials for Ralph and Jack. Ralph’s Dream Team came through for him, convincing the jury to return a “not guilty” verdict. When we meet again on Thursday, we’ll be starting Antigone, the classic (literally) Greek play by Sophocles.

Fourth and sixth periods worked on a quick review of words often confused:

• Accept/except
• Advice/advise
• Affect/effect
• Break/brake
• Choose/chose
• Hear/here
• Its/it’s
• Loose/lose
• Passed/past
• Peace/piece
• Principal/principle
• Quiet/quite
• Than/then
• There/their/they’re
• Threw/through
• To/too/two
• Weak/week
• Who’s/whose
• Your/you’re

For the most part, students are doing this individual and in pairs. It should be a review, but a few of them keep popping up in student writing.
