English 8 students took their first district-required (or perhaps it’s just school-required — I’m not sure) CFA today on summarizing. Since we’re not using Mastery Connect exclusively for the CFAs (many thanks to the powers that be for that flexibility), we can have students do small writing assignments for CFAs.

So students worked on summarizing the last short story they read, “There Will Come Soft Rains.”

English I students went through their “Amontillado” paragraphs, making sure they have good solid topic sentences, quote for the CDs, and reasoning in their CMs.

All classes also went to the library today.

Homework

• English 8 Studies: none.
• English I Honors: complete the first draft of your “Amontillado” paragraph.
