We started a new lesson in the vocabulary book. We studied the words. Abby created her mini-study cards. We completed some of the application activities. We then moved to the novel. We discussed the section which was the ending that Abby had read for homework. We talked plot, author's purpose and theme. Abby said that she liked the novel. We also discussed her essay topic. We discussed incorporating two outside articles to incorporate into her analysis. Abby will do some research for homework.
