English I Honors students began looking at the difference between summarizing and analyzing by looking at a poem by Li-Young Lee called “The Gift” and examining example summaries and analyses of the poem.

English 8 students began looking at effective reader skills and applying it to “Thank You, Ma’am” by Langston Hughes.

We will continue the work in groups tomorrow as we scaffold the practice to individual mastery.

Homework

• English I Honors:
