First and seventh period wrapped up the first fifty pages of The Glory Field. We’ll have a vocab quiz on Friday.

Second period went over the chapter in The Giver in which Jonas learns that he is to be the new Receiver of Memory.

Fourth period took a break from Great Expectations and began applying previous information about clauses. We’ll continue it tomorrow during the second half of the hour.

My related arts class — creative writing — began today. We did some initial writing for me to get a baseline for future lessons.
