Since we had the district-mandated second-quarter English benchmark test today, we only had half an hour per class. English 8 students continued with their close reading of an extremely tough text, the autobiography of Frederick Douglass.

English I Honors students worked on verbals (participles, gerunds, and infinitives) as we went over the progress students made in the benchmark exam.

Homework

• English 8 Studies: none.
• English I Honors: 
  • act 3 test on Wednesday;
  • continue practice at IXL if you feel unprepared;
  • complete the first two connections for “Decoration Day” for the Romeo and Juliet soundtrack project by Monday.
