English 8 students began working on an extended exercise with standard RI-6.1: “Provide an objective summary of a text with two or more central ideas; cite key supporting details to analyze their development.” Today we reviewed briefly how to create a summary; we’ll add the “objective” part later.

English I Honors students began a look at 1.5, with a brief foray into 1.3 to review how Shakespeare includes seemingly hidden blocking instructions in the text.

Homework
