Vocabulary: We will not have new vocabulary this week but will continue to see the words from our first list in various works we read this week.
Grammar/Language: Based on the diagnostic test we took during the first week, we will target some proofreading/editing/revising skills for students to work on, and this week our focus will be on revising awkward or wordy sentences.
Literature and Writing: As we work toward writing our definition essays, defining what it means to be an American, we will read nonfiction, poetry, and fiction selections that present a variety of perspectives related to the idea of what it means to be an American.
