English I Honors students finished up clauses and did some review work for the test next week. We also added gerund and infinitive phrases to our sentence diagramming repertoire. Students were thrilled about the new digrams and the amazing graphics they produce.

We also looked at the format of some of the questions on the test coming Wednesday.

English 8 students had their last (or next to last — we’ll see) Friday article inference days.

Homework

• English 8: 
  • work on figurative language practice on Moodle as necessary;
  • work on figurative language practice and vocab work on IXL as necessary;
  • work on AOW vocab on Quizlet as necessary.
• English I Honors: 
  • work on IXL as needed;
  • work on one-pager (Google Classroom) as needed;
  • work on AOW vocab on Quizlet as necessary;
  • practice subordinate clause work on either IXL, Quizlet, or Moodle as needed;
  • diagram these sentences by Tuesday:
    • I hate the idea of running through the hall with a chicken.
    • To be or not to be is the question.
    • Mastering carefully diagrammed sentences seems to be terribly useful for most students in Mr. Scott’s English class.
