Holding Pattern

Due to guidance meetings today, we did not add anything new to our docket, but we continued with our current focus on vocab, tone, and modes of discourse. And as you may have noticed, we are starting off with some low maintenance activities like our modes of discourse, our tone work, and our allusion posters to help with your knowledge bank for the AP exam. In the near future, we will be back to MC passages, prompts, argumentation, and writing. Hence, if you are neglecting to complete these assignments, it will impact not only your grade in the short-term, it will also impact your preparedness for the more challenging work to come.

1 & 3: We are at 12 words for this vocab unit, and we are becoming much more consistent with recognizing tone words. If you are still "passing" a great deal, I recommend spending quality time with your class's tone words in the upcoming days. At the end of class, we highlighted your descriptive paragraph for the 5 senses. Tomorrow will be more vocab, more tone, more process analysis, and more allusions.

4: We never made it to vocab or tone today, which means you should look over your tone words for review over the next couple days! Meanwhile, you had the remainder of the hour to prep for your process analysis "skits" with the encouragement to bring in any props or costumes appropriate for you directions and for school.
