January 7/8

English 1 -- Today in class, students read a short story called "The Interlopers" by Saki.  After reading, they completed a graphic organizer illustrating the changing relationship between the characters during the story.  Next students watched a video on Standard Edited American English and parts of speech, and they filled out a notesheet that they will use to help them complete a fun activity next class.
