We started off the day with notes on verbs (passive/active and verb tenses). We then continued reading "Thank You Ma'am". Additionally, we read the article "Doing Time", which is about a teenager conflicted with jail time. We then had a discussion on motivations and stereotypes of criminals (students submitted a worksheet for this). Finally, we worked on questions corresponding to "Thank You Ma'am". Since we had a bit of spare time, we watched the "Schoolhouse Rocks" videos for nouns and verbs.
Reminders:
- Thumbprint Profiles due today!
- "Thank You Ma'am" questions: due tomorrow, Feb. 18, 2015
