English 8 Strategies students did work on writing craft today, returning to sentence variety and adding a new type of sentence to our repertoire. As we begin working toward our major second-quarter project, we’ll be including these new sentences in our work.

English I Honors students finished up going over the prologue of Romeo and Juliet before going into the play proper.

We’re about half of a day behind this week’s planned schedule, so we’ll be pickup up the pace soon.

Homework

• English I Honors: 
  • write a brief character sketch of both Gregory and Samson on the back of today’s work;
  • prepare for the vocab quiz tomorrow;
  • have the first eight lines of your sonnet complete.
