Quick post

All classes should have pictionaries and Choosing the Right Word unit 15 done for tomorrow.
All classes have quiz 15 on Friday.

Sections 2 & 3 were to have finished the first set of questions on the wiki. 
  • We spent some time working in book discussion groups today.  
  • I am asking that students write longer answers for the second set of questions which is due Monday, May 19. 
  • I am thinking five lines as of right now. 

Section 1 seems to be struggling with the assignment below.  I told the students it would be best if they worked on this tonight.  Many did not bother to take the book home.
