Daily Annoucements
I post here daily about what we accomplished in class each day, including handouts and links available to students on my CANVAS site.
Monday, 2/12 Semester 2, Day 13 After 10 minutes of reading, we started class by moving to new seating groups as we begin a new literature unit this week. We are also beginning our first unit of systematic grammar instruction this week, so students took notes today on terminology and definitions for clauses, main/independent clause, subordinate/dependent clause, dependent signals (words that begin dependent clauses), simple sentences, compound sentences, complex sentences, and compound-complex sentences. Next, we reviewed and took notes on the first 5 vocabulary words from Oedipus Rex. Finally, I introduced a group research project on the history of Greek drama that we will work on this week in class and at home. We did not have time to truly begin the project today, but students did some planning in their groups at the end of class so they will know how to approach the project starting tomorrow. Homework: No official homework, but I did recommend that students use the links on Canvas in the Grammar Unit 2 module to practice recognizing independent and dependent clauses.
