Today, students were given a A-List Vocabulary crossword puzzle. The crossword puzzle is due on Friday. This is a review of the specific 14 A-List words that we have studied so far this year. Now we will put the words to work for us. Starting next week we will have a bell ringer activity each day focusing on the understanding and use of these 14 words. Remember that each of these words tell you what directions or writing prompts are asking you to do and a solid understanding of the differences in the meaning of each word is a fundamental skill that every student must master.

Our Independent Grammar lesson this week is labeled Week 6 – Quotation Marks in the resources section of Canvas. WSQ for Week 6 – Quotation Marks is due on Friday, and late submissions will not be accepted for any credit.

Any late work from this quarter must be turned in by this Friday to receive any credit for the work.

Over the next three days students will be reading the third and final section of Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis. The final questions were passed out today and students were reminded that questions must be answered with textual support in their Reading Log.
