Students learned the terms connotation and denotation. I then shared a presentation on the history of the English language, corresponding with pp.11-13 of Fire in the Bones.
I returned graded assignments to students and they were filed in working notebooks. Students are reminded to keep all work as they will be required to make a "small plates" abridgement at the end of term.
We next read together from Hamlet.

Class B: to page ___
Homework
Reading through page 59 in Fire in the Bones is due Wednesday. On that day, I will collect the first three reading journals. Please have them printed, if you typed them, and ready to turn in. Please make sure they are orderly and edited for basic grammar and spelling.
