English I students worked on a parts-of-speech review before the (likely) test on Friday. Afterward, we began working on tone in poetry. Students received an expansive list of tone words, which students will start learning over the next few weeks.

English 8 students continued working on their final major assignment, which we had begun just before Helene knocked us out of school for almost two weeks.
