I swear I haven't had a chance to think one continuous thought today. I knew today was going to be crazy, but the level of "nuts" today is at an all-time high.

In Literature 9 we worked on a vocabulary lesson for "Cask of the Amontillado" and "The Interlopers." While everyone was waiting for everyone to finish, people were given a chance to work on their book cover project. The directions for this project were posted to Friday's blog. Then we discussed our study guide and how it's supposed to help us narrow down our massive list. We only want to study the words we need to study, not the rehash those that we already know.

In English 10 it was all about the personal experience speech. In one class we finished four speeches, while in the other we finished five speeches. Also everyone is supposed to be working on an assignment that reviews compound subjects and compound verbs. We will be having a quiz over subject/predicates before the week is out.

In American Government it was all about the Mixed Market system. We reviewed the qualities of pure capitalism, and then added the component of government regulation. This will be the essay question on Friday's test. The essay portion will open on Wednesday. I distributed the study guide for the unit test.

Have a great Monday...It was it's own type of crazy!
