Week of October 24 2011
English 10 students will read Chapters 19-23 (pages 190-227) in To Kill a Mockingbird before we take a break next week to complete a multi-faceted writing assignment that focuses on the theme of "perspective." Students will also examine the importance of adjectives and how to effectively incorporate adjectives in their writing.
We will also begin a "Word of the Day" exercise. I have compiled a list of the 100 most frequently used words in previous ACT Tests. From that list, I will choose and display one word per day and each student will be required to type the word, definition, part of speech, and synonyms then use the word properly in a sentence.
