February 9

1 and 2: Copied down vocabulary unit 18. Reviewed tone words from our first three rounds. Advised to review tone words for upcoming activities, quizzes, and full multiple choice test. Discussed the rangefinders, which we found to be wanting in counterclaims, rebuttals, and explanatory evidence.

4: Began our next unit of vocabulary and followed up with reviewing tone words from the first three rounds. Then, the fun started with an allusion quiz/scavenger hunt, utilizing the hot mess of allusion posters plastered across the majority of the room.

Due at the beginning of Thursday's class is your CDQ choice prompt. Remember to include the three prewritings as well for participation credit. Full multiple choice test -- timed -- will be Thursday.

7: Finally, we completed vocab quiz 17 and wrote down the next cycle of words. Afterwards, we reviewed tone words from the first three rounds and added to your tally sheets. Then, in theory since I am writing this an hour before class, we analyzed the rangefinders.

Bonus Content:

Overheard in fourth hour today: "All the Scholar Quiz people have an advantage with these allusions." I may have revised the exact phrasing there, but I completely agree since we learn, study, and practice facts from history, literature, science, math, and pop culture. Our Open House is Tuesday, February 16, and you can check out our trivia, our buzzers, and our snacks.
