GT is close to completing his vocabulary book. We worked diligently in the book today. We studied two lessons of words. We also discussed the words, studied them and completed activities that use the words in a variety of ways. We discussed the section of the novel that GT had read for homework. We discussed in detail the author's purpose. We pre-viewed the essay quiz for that section. We also answered the essay questions accompanying that section. GT will read more of the novel for homework.
