Friday

English 11
We made some major headway on our essays. It seems a project this big is going to take more than one class. Since most of you are using more than the novel and the handout for the literary theory, we'll need to put together a bibliography for the essay so that I know what you are sourcing. You may choose to come in for some extra writing after school today.  On Monday, we'll continue writing the draft to completion, and I'll have feedback prepared within the week.

Homework:
Create a bibliography for Monday to hand in with your first draft.

We caught up on our reading during silent reading, and focused on verbs, adverbs, adjectives, and nouns. For many of us, there was some review, but as you might have discovered, there's much more to learn about these parts of speech than you might have thought.

Homework:
Finish the 20 questions from the overhead. Fill in the blank space with a letter symbolizing the part of speech. N, Adv, Adj, V for Nouns, Adverbs, Adjectives, and Verbs respectively. For those of you who didn't finish copying them down, here they are:
