Honors 4-14-14

eLearning due tomorrow.  Be sure you have everything submitted.

-The vocabulary test taken and a perfect score achieved

-The chat questions shared with me

-The on-line chat completed

-The paper that discusses how the theme of the story fits both the story and a poem/song that you have identified

Be sure it is all in my possession and/or completed by tomorrow at the end of class.

We looked at gerunds today in class.  A few of you were aware of them already and were able to define them as -ing verbs used as nouns.  We saw how the gerunds can be used as subjects, noun complements and objects of a preposition.  They also can be parts of gerund phrases.  The key thing to remember is that a gerund is a word that ends in -ing and that is used as a noun.

We plan on completing our reading of The Pearl this week.  You'll be in smaller groups to complete the reading after today.  We'll come back for a group discussion and review.  Later in the week, or for the beginning of next week, I'll be having you respond to some short answer questions over the text and what we have been discussing.

Participles tomorrow!

See you soon.
