Here's a quick overview of the week:
Vocabulary: We received words for Thomas Wolfe's short story "The Far and the Near" last week and will work with them several times this week before taking a vocabulary quiz on Friday.
Literature: We began American Dream stations on Friday and will most likely wrap those up on Tuesday before discussing some of the specific activities on Wednesday. We will also read, discuss, and write about "The Far and the Near" by Thomas Wolfe, the first of several short stories we will focus on. In addition, we will discuss the Mark Twain excerpt and the Emily Dickinson poem from past week's pretest.
Language: We will also complete a pretest over language and editing skills. The information gathered from this will guide our future activities regarding language, usage, and grammar.
Reminders: The American Dream interview activity should be turned in no later than Thursday of this week.
