October 3rd, 2013

10/3/13

In Class:
Journal--  Respond to the following quote: "We are always getting ready to live and never living." - Ralph Waldo Emerson

GMX-- Parts of Speech
Review of the definition and purpose of helping verbs--remember, shades of meaning:
  He marries you.
  He can marry you.
  He will marry you.
  He should marry you.
  He must marry you.
  He didn't marry you.
*All of these sentences use the same action verb but convey slightly (or completely) different meanings.


Next, we read "Why Can't I Own a Canadian?" and further discussed techniques of persuasive style.

Students worked independently on their final projects.

Exit ticket: Set one academic goal for yourself for this weekend.

Homework:
Work on your final project.

Catch up on any missing work!
