First period had a brief review of commas and apostrophes as the starter.

Afterward, we worked on a PASS prep (as the test is coming up shortly) and turned our attention back to “Flowers for Algernon.”

Second and fourth periods had time in class to read. Additionally, we watched a bit of the BBC version of Great Expectations.

Sixth period continued with The Giver.

Seventh period reviewed the work we’d done in the lab the past two days, going over propaganda techniques and identifying a few examples as a class. (The class notes are available here.)
