Monday - September 23, 2013

7th Grade:
DOL - Focus on participles today.  A participle is a verb that ends with ED or ING and has a helping verb with it.  I am walking is a present participle vs. I walk is present tense.  Don't worry.  We will get lots of practice with these verbs.

Begin reading the story "An Unforgettable Journey" in class.  No homework tonight.


8th Grade:
DOL - Focus on Infinitives (Verbs that still have the "To" in front of them.  To eat, to walk, to run, etc.
Continue reading Algernon. 


10th Grade:
DOL - Fix the sentence today. 
We finished reading Act I in Julius Caesar.  There will be a test on this act tomorrow in class.


History: 
We finally finished our discussion on Globalization.  We took notes on the Spanish Hierarchy in the New world, and who got which kind of jobs, based on parentage, race, and gender.  See Mr. Hawley or a classmate for notes.  Then we turned our attention to the looming fight in congress over the debt ceiling.  The debt clock is up on my screen saver.  We will do an activity tomorrow with these numbers.  Scary stuff!
