First and sixth periods had a review for the test. We used the “Someone Wanted But So” engagement as a way both to review select stories and to provide a gauge of understanding for tonight’s studying.

Second and fourth periods worked on tone in poetry. We went over a few tone words and then re-examined some poems from earlier in the unit to determine their tone.

Seventh period began reading the famous “The Highwayman” after doing some vocabulary review and an anticipatory exercise for this famous poem. As we read it, we were keeping track of the elements of the piece that were like poetry and the elements that were more like a short story.
