First and seventh periods continued working on The Glory Field. We’ve finished the first part, set in 1864. We also went over some grades. I encouraged students to turn in late work for partial credit.

Second period went over The Giver and had a quick quiz. We finished up by reading in class as I talked to students about their grades.

Fourth period went over grammar. We covered simple and compound sentences. We’ll finish complex and compound-complex tomorrow.

Homework

• Second period: read chapters 10 and 11.
• Fourth period: none, but students will have to read through chapter 33 over the break, so it’s not a bad idea to get started.
