English 9, Wed. Sept. 15

We had a test on how to cite today. Most students did really well. Keep that sheet handy so you can refer to it when you are writing literary paragraphs.

We also reviewed all eight vocabulary words today and had a quiz. Big test Friday. The outline is in your agenda books.

We also learned three ways to incorporate quotations today. Study that sheet.

We practiced the concepts of adding a hook to our paragraph and you have a reference sheet with a list of how to create effective hooks.

We started a paragraph on the story, "The Father". Homework: Edit and revise your thesis statement so that it does a good job of answering the question: what are the reasons for the father's neglect of his son.
