English 1

Today in class, students took their Parts of Speech Quiz and then learned that they will have to keep retaking it until they get an 80% or better since parts of speech are a very basic, very important part of grammar. Next, they began writing their first major writing assignment of the year, the personal narrative. After spending some time brainstorming and writing, students were also introduced to our Poetry Unit by reading a poem called "Autumnal Equinox". Students began discussing the similarities that the poem and To Kill a Mockingbird share, especially in the theme.
