March 17
It's St. Patrick's Day...we'll take a couple of minutes to talk about some folklore surrounding the holiday.
We will then get to an activity we had to postpone earlier, and that is our Tongue Twister Activity. This will begin with a short round of notes. You will then need to use this link while working on the activity.
Next up will be Terms to Know for this unit, which will focus on folk literature.
Finally, we will take some time to get acquainted with the textbook we will be using for this unit, and to engage in a Textbook Activity. The textbook activity can only be completed in class, as we do not have the ability for your to check out your own copy of the textbook.
