First period had the Explore test today. We finished with enough time to go over the day’s stem word before finishing with some silent reading.

Sixth and seventh periods worked on revision as well. Sixth period went over the entire STAR revision system while seventh period (my seventh grade class) went over only the “A” portion, “adding.”

Second and fourth periods went over the Scylla and Charybdis section of the Odyssey, looking at “Wrapped Around Your Finger,” a song by “The Police,” to study allusion.

Homework

• First and sixth period: none.
• Second and fourth periods: read “Sun God’s Cattle” (i.e., finish the first section of the Odyssey).
• Seventh period: take chosen sentence and expand by adding two more sentences of description (working on the “A” from STAR).
