Thursday, September 30 (E9)

Today's Objective: S.W. study text to determine a proper sequence of events.


Today's SAT Word: Exception (n.):

A case where the normal rules do not apply.

“Students aren’t normally allowed to wear casual clothing to school, but Mr. Thomas granted a one-day exception on school spirit day.”



Today's Soundtrack: Irish Folk Ballads (Instrumental)

We have chosen these songs in order to help give students a broader feel for the culture and "flavor" of the Irish people. By playing folk music, we open our ears to a tradition that is largely born of the poorer class -- the very same class, in fact, from which the author of Angela's Ashes himself emerged.


Today's Warm-Up Question:

Write a paragraph retelling a story of a time when you (or someone you know!) was really, really sick! How did it feel? What did you do? Did you go to the hospital? How long were you sick!?!

COMPLETE PARAGRAPHS! THIS WILL BE GRADED!
