Ninth graders took a vocabulary quiz today. Tomorrow we will have a quiz (the same one!) on the following words: diminutive, feat, harrowing, pacify, textiles, dowry, sanitarium, pogrom, systematically, hasty. You will also have a puzzle on the following words: neurotic, obscure, clatter, void, condolences, objective, shrine, liquidate, stoop (noun), pragmatic, pauper.
Study please!
Juniors finished Oedipus. You also received two offers for extra credit. You may recite from memory one or both of the following poems in an entertaining manner in class through the last day of January: "Invictus" and/or "O Captain, My Captain." Links to the following poems are copied below:
We also read a poem entitled "Jocasta" and will write some Oedipal poetry of our own tomorrow.
Also tomorrow you will have a quiz (crossword puzzle, no work bank) on the following words: steadfast, renown, cognizant, deplore, gainsaying, moratorium, foster, unfettered, realm, gadfly.
Remember that the first six chapters of X are due Thursday.
Have a great day!
