Sorry for not having updates earlier in the week. Here's what we've been up to!

English 8

Monday was a review of the three types of irony: verbal, situational, and dramatic. Yesterday, you completed a worksheet in class about idioms. Today, we went over consonance, assonance, and alliteration.

English 9 and 9 Honors

On Monday, you completed your first journal entry for To Kill A Mockingbird. We've now read (most of) chapter 1, in which we meet Scout, our narrator. At the beginning of the novel, she's 6 years old. We've also met her brother Jem and their neighbor, Dill, and we've learned a bit about the mysterious Boo Radley.
