ELA B30: Feb 6 Second comma quiz / “On Seeing England…”
- I was most pleased with several students who were going to miss class today because of curling. They were at the school before 7:30, some of them, ready and waiting to get their comma quiz over with so they didn’t miss the marks. Good job!
- The class was much smaller today, with the curlers and others missing. Students did the same comma quiz before we began reading aloud the essay students were asked to have already read. “On Seeing England For The First Time” is an essay written by the author who grew up always being compared to what the English did or didn’t do. She has a great distaste for the people there and wishes she could “tear it up” with her bare hands.
- After discussing the essay and doing some questions individually, we talked a bit more about how to create their own blog. Some have struggled to get a blog activated and receive their passwords but creating gmail accounts seems to solve this easily.
