1. Word of the Day #17: genial
2. Language Lab #14 (Remember this principle.)
3. Writer's Notebook #15, part B
4. We individually took notes on main points as groups of students presented about how their assigned pieces of early American literature represented the literary movements of Realism, Regionalism, and Naturalism.
5. We discussed the introduction of the theme of "sivilization" in The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. In our Writer's Notebook page 18, we made a list of characters introduced in the book so far, listed some of their characteristics, and ranked their social status.
For next time: Read chapters 6-9 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. Also, come prepared for vocabulary quiz #4 and our unit review quiz on early American literary movements.
