First period finished up the parts of speech today. We’ll be having a test Friday. (It was scheduled for tomorrow, but we’ll be MAP testing tomorrow.)

Second and sixth finished up verbs. Just a little more work and we’ll be done with the parts of speech review.

Fourth period looked at a few newspaper articles to see how bias can sneak in (and sometimes enter blatantly).
