English I Honors students had some time to work on their “Decoration Day”/Romeo and Juliet connection paragraphs. Students worked with a partner to make revisions based on the rubric, specifically focussing on strong topic sentences and good quote integration.

English 8 students finished the first part of the Douglass text, which is quite a challenge. We’ll be doing scaffolded practice with the other parts of the text over the coming days.

Homework

• English 8 Studies: none.
• English I Honors: 
  • RJ act 3 test Wednesday;
  • first draft of “Decoration Day” paragraphs due tomorrow.
