The past few weeks after week #18, I have not been able to update the blog. I made a change on this blog - its name. It is now reverted back to English II Academic. That way everyone enrolled in English II academic will use this tool to follow lessons and activities.
On Monday, we started the week with a quiz on the first foreign words list. Then, we continued to tweak our essays on Google Docs before transferring the essays on the STAAR lined paper.
Yesterday, Tuesday, we revisited our SAR activity using our last selection as the basis of the question. We will continue to pursue this specific activity for practice purposes.
Today, Wednesday, you will take a part of the DLA.
Thursday and Friday will be spent finishing the DLA and going back to the SAR assignment we previously had.
