Finally, Zeugma!

As noted in the title of this blog, we finally found zeugma in a passage and it played a part in adding to the pathos we felt towards John, our synecdoche soldier. 

To start the hour, we added four new vocabulary words to our list. Three left before the review and then the eventual quiz. 

Then, we completed our team close read of the Alcott passage, which inspired the written portion of today's show. In groups, you created a team thesis statement and then each group member composed a body paragraph for that thesis statement. We will continue working on this on Friday -- after all, we only have the middle section of the essay completed.
