Sam and I finished discussing the Wife of Bath's Tale. Sam finished writing her analytical answer to one of the extended response questions. We discussed ways to improve answering extended responses including the citation of textual evidence. We then studied the first set of vocabulary words in the Sadlier Vocabulary book.Sam did quite well on the practice exercises. Then we discussed the Sherman Alexee novel. We discussed what the culminating project will be. We discussed the novel up to the chapter that Sam had read. She will have the book read by next Thursday.
