Students arrived and took an unannounced pop quiz on The Red Convertible. Ashley and Devin had not read the story so we were not able to hold class as planned. We did vocabulary unit 2 instead. We tested each other, taking turns as follows: I read three synonyms of a word, and the others have to guess which word I am talking about. The one who gets it right has to then take over, reading synonyms and having the others guess. Then we moved on to anytonyms. It was a good excercise, as the words are hard and we all (myself included) needed to practice them. Then we talked abuot the importance of having (and paying attention to) a daily planner. We wrote down the assignment for tomorrow.
