All classes continued the parts of speech unit. We’re right on schedule in most classes; second and sixth periods might begin moving well ahead of schedule.

First period looked at adjectives. In particular, we explored the way some words traditionally thought of as other parts of speech can serve as adjectives.

Second and sixth periods went over pronouns. We didn’t go into great detail about the different types. I pointed out personal pronouns, but when we covered demonstrative, interrogative, and relative pronouns, I simply listed them as “other pronouns.” It’s not necessary at this point to be able to differentiate the types.

Fourth period worked on a general review of parts of speech. We’ll be having a test on them Friday.

Homework

• First, second, and sixth periods: none.
• Fourth period:
  • complete the weekly writing assignment;
