First and sixth periods turned in their memoirs and began a new unit today. We’re working on persuasion, and we’ll be creating a persuasive piece of writing after learning about persuasive techniques.

Second and sixth periods reviewed the weekend’s reading before heading to groups to do some more planning for the board game Odyssey project.

Seventh period began a short story unit, looking at context clues and working on an anticipation guide for the first story we will read tomorrow.

Homework

• Second and fourth periods: Read “Death at the Palace” from Odyssey.
• All other classes: none.
