English I Honors students worked on a very tricky subject, something that’s difficult to teach because one learns it, in general, by doing it: transitioning between big ideas in a paper. We went over some principles today and did some practice.

Students will ultimately be doing this with their own writing for the Romeo and Juliet project.

English 8 students finished the first part of their voice analysis for the Frederick Douglass piece we’ve been reading. They will present Monday.
