Eleventh Class: Gerunds and Participles

Students responded to a journal prompt about chapter nine of The House on Mango Street, "Meme Ortiz."

After discussing the loyal qualities of Petty Officer 1st Class Jon T. Tumilson's dog Hawkeye, Mr. Stone prayed and the class took quizzes over "The Scarlet Ibis" and "Sonata for Harp and Bicycle."

Mr. Stone discussed gerunds and participles with the class. He also highlighted two spelling strategies and the mythological roots of a number of common words. Students worked on completing two grammar and two vocabulary worksheets.

Homework: Read "If I Forget Thee, Oh Earth" (486).
