Today we....
1. Finished our $1 summaries over the Shakespeare OGT essay. We learned that when you let yourself get "deeper" into the text, you learn much more and retain it better. Combine this with our visualizing exercise, and your OGT skills should definitely improve!
2. Completed a "Commas in Action" exercise. You can look forward to apostrophes on Monday!
3. We had our very own Poetry Slam! Some of you definitely suprised me. Check out this video we watched in class today:
