English 8 students continued working on the quote embedding practice we began yesterday. In addition to our trip to the library, we moved students away from teach-centered and group-based work on the embedding process and more toward independent work.

English I students went over Homeric Similes

Homework

• English 8: complete the quote embedding practice with the fourth example (using the quote about cooking outside or hunting food).
• English I Honors: 
  • continue the Odyssey with these three sections:
    • I am Laertes Son
    • The Lotus Eaters
    • The Cyclops
  • complete your gerund practice and appositive practice by Friday.
