We took the Vocab2 quiz, which included correcting capitalization and endmarks and a section on etymology #1 and #2. We read "Black Snack".

We discussed the individual responses, and students turned in the paragraphs at the end of the block.

DUE: Vocab2 sentences with vocab2 definitions.
The first part of today was catch-up on all the little things we needed to finish. We shared extra credit MACRO and vocabulary words. Then we finished the grammar #1 packet, and I distributed the grammar #2 packet. This is due Friday at the beginning of the block. I also gave a handout that reviews the capitalization and punctuation from packet #1. This is due tomorrow at the beginning of the block. I introduced Cultural Literacy and gave the second set of Etymology bases.
