1. Word of the Day #16: surfeit
2. Language Lab #13 (Copy the 3 rules on the second slide and then write 2 sentences that contain a list. Use the picture on the third slide as inspiration.)
3. Writer's Notebook #15, part A
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 Classicism, Romanticism, and Transcendentalism.
5. We checked out copies of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
6. We discussed how this novel will introduce us to the realist style of writing, which contrasts in many ways with romanticist style. It presents vernacular language, including words, phrases, and characteristics that were taboo at the time as well as words that are now taboo today.
For next time: Read Chapters 1-5 of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn.
