English 9: Blocks 1/2 and 5/6

Thanks for the great discussions today!

Today students took more notes on parts of speech. We then talked about living conditions in the Third World and the daily struggle to survive in some environments. I showed personal pictures from Africa and Asia to demonstrate some of the poverty that exists. We then read and discussed the story "The Blue Bead", which is about a girl's struggles in India.

Reminders:
  • We'll go over "The Blue Bead" questions Monday, Sept. 19, 2016
