Update Nov. 7

Writing Portfolio
We learned some skills for helping with the final edit of the Hamlet essays.  We reviewed MLA formatting (see https://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/747/01/). We also considered different ways of combining independent and dependent clauses in sentences to create sentence variety and fluency.

Homework: The final edit of Hamlet essays is due on Tuesday. The marked up draft should be attached to the back of the final edit copy.

We enjoyed a Hamlet celebration. We feasted, played some games, and enjoyed the students' performances of their Hamlet monologues.  Many thanks to Mrs. Jody Nielson for her kind help with delicious food and beautiful decorations!

Homework: Les Miserables reading up through page 120 due on Monday.
