This week, we practiced commas, apostrophes, and editing sentences prior to taking the 3rd 9 weeks root words/grammar test. We read the nonfiction piece, "Who Wrote Shakespeare" in the Holt Reader and practiced SOL-type questions. We watched short video clips on the Vietnam War and discussed its financial and human toll in anticipation of reading "Where Have You Gone, Charming Billy?" After we read the short story and answered the analysis questions in the Holt Reader, we practiced SOL test skills questions on the story (focusing on connotation, context clues, and inference making). We also completed a character analysis activity, where we had to select SAT level words, which were full of connotation, to describe each character.
