English 8 read the second selection from The Circuit. It’s called “Inside Out” and deals with the author’s first days in school and the challenges he face not being fluent in English. We used a Somebody Wanted But So chart to help us with our reading.

English I students began some of the last lessons for the Odyssey. We’re looking again at how allusions work, this time with the Police song “Wrapped Around Your Finger.”

We’ll finish up tomorrow.

Homework

• English 8: study for tomorrow’s parts of speech test.
• English I Honors: read the required Friday reading (if you haven’t already).
