HONORS AMERICAN LIT

Vocabulary quiz on The Tempest, Part 2.
Silent reading.
COLLECTED weekly reading logs.

Check-in around comprehension of the script of The Tempest.
Students highlighted difficult passages from Act 1; class worked out the gist of the passage, then worked out confusing vocabulary and word order issues to reach a clearer understanding.

HOMEWORK: As test prep, review the script of The Tempest from Act 2 to the end, and highlight at least three confusing passages, circling unfamiliar words.

(We will continue to apply our close reading strategy in class tomorrow, as well as review the essay test grading rubric and a strategy for approaching my open response questions.)
