Fifth Class Period: Singer Quiz & Vocabulary

Quiz: Isaac Singer's "The Washwoman"

We discussed three spelling strategies, the root -nov-, the prefix fore-, and the root -sent-/-sens-.

We also discussed the basics of verbal analogies. Students applied all of these concepts and selected vocabulary from nonfiction works from the unit by completing three worksheets (157, 161, 165).

Mr. Stone lectured on the differences between prose and poetry/verse.

Homework: Read Rudolfo Anaya's "A Celebration of Grandfathers" (662-668).
