Day 88!

Welcome back! I hope that you all had a great break and that you are so excited to be back! I know I am!

Today we will start by getting a new seating chart! Yay!

After that, we will take a look at your semester essays. I was fairly impressed with most of your work, so good job out of you guys!

Then, we will spend some time with our new vocabulary words!

Our first words for the semester are:

clandestine
ardent
pinnacle
query
construe

Remember, when you are creating your word presentation, you need to include:

  • the word
  • part of speech
  • definition in YOUR OWN WORDS
  • example sentence (should provide context clues)
  • visual representation that can be projected for the class to take notes
  • a way to remember the word


If we get some time after that, we will move on to Southern Gothic literature and our next author, William Faulkner!
