DAY 04 - CYCLE 08 - SEMESTER 01: 11-03-09

HANDOUTS FROM TODAY:

Today's handout was the full study guide for Watership DownThe reading schedule, leader assignments, and all study guides are in there. Kayleigh was our leader for the day.

IN CLASS TODAY:
We started sentence diagramming, looking at subjects and verbs.

We skimmed the surface of 229-257 of Watership Down. Kayleigh was our leader for the day, and together with her, you decided you would break up into two teams to go over the initial study guide questions: boys v. girls.

Adams had lots to say in last night's reading--presenting a new structure to society worthy of commentary.  What kind of critique might he have been making on governments in the world around him?

Why wasn't Holly angry that Hazel had gone to Nuthangar Farm?  What does that say about diplomacy and consensus-minded thinking?

Are the two does Hazel brought back turning out to be assets or liabilities?

It's a pity we did not get to more.

CLASS NOTES:
Notes for today's class may be found here.

HOMEWORK FOR NEXT CLASS:
1. Read 261-289 in Watership Down.  Charlie Hauske will be our next leader.
2. Bring your grammar book with you to class on Thursday.
3. Look ahead to the 12-sentence paragraph due THURSDAY. (Change from Wednesday.) You can find the assignment on page 24 of the study guide.
4. Study for the vocab quiz on unit 3 tomorrow. There will be TEN sentence matching problems.
