English 8 students worked on their Friday inference work. We re-examined the following text:

Kyle ran into his house, slamming the door behind him. He threw his book bag on the floor and plopped onto the couch. After six hours of playing Grand Larceny VII, he ate some pizza and fell asleep with a slice on his stomach and his feet on his book bag. When Kyle came home from school the next day, he was noticeably distraught. He balled up his report card and placed it inside a soup can in the garbage. He then flipped the soup can upside down in the garbage can and arranged loose pieces of trash over it. As he plopped down on the couch, he let out a sigh and picked up his controller.

The question for today was simple: “Was Kyle’s report card good or bad? Why was it good/bad (i.e., what caused it to be good/bad)? How do you know this?j (Most important is the second question: what caused it to be good/bad?)”

English I Honors students worked on phrases.

We’ll be having a test on phrases Monday.
