Second Semester Week 1 Ends

There is only one Friday in every week! Today is that day, Friday.  What a great first week of the second semester we have had.

Today I Read “The Transformation of Arachne into a Spider” aloud while students follow along. Students underlined unfamiliar words and names of people and places during this first reading.

Homework: Do a second, independent reading of “The Transformation of Arachne into a Spider”

  • Using pencils, identify all of the sentence breaks with vertical slash marks, treating colons and semicolons as periods.
  • Then highlight every other sentence so that you can group ideas and events as we continue to work with this text.
  • Locate the subject(s) and verb(s) in each sentence by marking them with S and V.

This homework assignment must be done by the start of your class period on Monday. We are doing our first flipped grammar lesson on sentence diagraming and you will use this homework during the lesson. Be sure to come to class prepared by having this homework completed.
