First and fifth periods continued working on “Flowers for Algernon.” We’ll be returning to embedded quotes tomorrow, using our work today as a springboard. Both periods will have a quiz later this week on:

• Determining the main idea of a passage; and
• Embedding quotes from a source into their own writing.

Second and fourth periods began their presentations of their redacted versions of scenes two through five of act three. We’ll be finishing up act three on Wednesday or Thursday, which means the quiz on act three will be Friday or Monday.

Homework

• First and fifth periods: none.
• Second and fourth periods: 
  • read 3.3 and 3.4;
  • complete the “Parallel Speeches” short writing;
  • “Decoration Day” paragraph due next Monday.
