Here's today's recap!

English 8

After going over our idioms worksheet, we talked about what narrative poems are: poems with a plot or poems that tell a story. Sometimes, narrative poems will rhyme or have rhythms, but not always. As long as it tells a story with a beginning, middle, and end, it's a narrative poem. We read "Jabberwocky" by Lewis Carroll, and you have the opportunity to earn some bonus points TODAY ONLY if you write out what you think the plot was!

English 9 and 9 Honors

In chapter 3, Scout is about ready to beat up Walter Cunningham Jr. for making her "start off on the wrong foot" with Miss Caroline. Jem invites Walter to lunch at their house, where Walter pours syrup over all of his food. Calpurnia made sure that Scout was very clear on the fact that when someone is your guest, they are to be treated with respect. Miss Caroline met Burris Ewell, who we learn is not only suffering from very poor hygiene and is from a very poor family, but is also extremely rude. The Ewells, according to Atticus, are not considered a respectable family, and the father, Bob, uses his welfare check to buy whiskey rather than providing for his children. Scout and Atticus make a deal: if Scout goes back to school, they can continue reading together, they just won't tell Miss Caroline.
