Today, students began class with an EOC/SAT/ACT warm-up that deals with subject/verb agreement. Students were taught the test-taking tip of identifying the sentence subject and verb eliminating preposition phrases and other modifying phrases and clauses that might distract from the correct answer. Then, students engaged in a whole-group Friday Forum model, in which they analyzed a CNN article and completed the Friday Forum template. After the Friday Forum Model, the class read Act II of The Crucible and worked on their study guides. At the end of class, students were assigned their rhetoric wrap-up readings and activities (Chapters 1-2 Writing America; activities on pages 12,13,19,26,33,&47), which is due Next Monday.
