Wednesday is picture day for the school!

Homework:
Flashcards for unit 2 (sections 3,6,7) Word on front/definition and part of speech on the back
Good draft of the essay is due Wednesday (100 points!)
The students who were chosen to read should be ready.

Today:
Buzzword
Reviewed for the vocab quiz by discussing what part of speech each word is and how it is used.
We looked at examples of introductions and conclusions observing how they match each other. I told the classes that they should be able to read just the introduction and the conclusion together and it should sound like they belong together. They are bookends. However, the intro has a function, and the conclusion has one, too. But they still go together well.

*Section 3's essay is due on Thursday. Our review for the quiz ran over, and we did not get to discuss all the topics I had wanted to get to.

**You can expect to see a grade slip sent home tomorrow. It will need to be signed.
