First and seventh continued working on improving our use of specific nouns. Second period worked on the same thing, but then, having some extra time, we returned to sensory details to look at how to include them without being so direct: “I smell,” or “I hear.”

Fourth period continued working on Antigone. We began by creating a step-by-step guide on how to parse a difficult sentence in a challenging selection and understand it. A study guide for Antigone is available here.

Fourth period will be having a parts of speech test Thursday on nouns, pronouns, and adjectives.
