English I students (fourth and fifth period) worked on the next step in our phrase phase by covering the basic idea of the participle. It was a 10-minute introduction to the form (the -ing or -en form of the verb), and that was that. Tomorrow we’ll work on the participle’s function before moving on to participial phrases. Afterward, we went over the famous “All the world’s a stage” passage from As You Like It as practice for our test, which has been moved to Wednesday.

English 8 students had a Socratic Seminar about “The Tell-Tale Heart.”
