First and fourth Periods worked to complete the paraphrasing of each passage everyone was given. After completing this they wrote three things that they think will happen before and after their passages. Finally, they broke up into groups of two and compared paraphrasing as well as preparing to present to the other groups.

Second and seventh periods began with comma practice work for starters, including a trick question: one that doesn’t require any commas at all.

1. He left the scene of the accident and tried to forget that it had happened.
2. Oil, which is lighter than water, rises to the surface.
3. Madame de Stael was an attractive, gracious lady.

Second and seventh periods then continued with Flowers for Algernon, making predictions and working to confirm them.
