First and fifth continued with “Flowers for Algernon.” We started an informational text about the Rorschach test in an effort to cover standard RI2: “Determine a central idea of a text and analyze its development over the course of the text, including its relationship to supporting ideas; provide an objective summary of the text.”

Second and fourth periods returned one last time to Friar Laurence’s opening soliloquy, looking at the language tricks homework.

We also finished scenes four, five, and six, thus completing the second act. We’ll do some tidying up tomorrow before the act quiz on Monday.

Homework

• First and fifth periods: none.
• Second and fourth periods: complete questions (excluding number 7) on page 870.
