NLR English III: Welcome to three fun weeks! No sarcasm intended. Today we wrote introductory letters, read Raymond Carver's short story "Cathedrals," wrote a reading response about the difficulties of communication and the symbolism of the title, (remember the bridge discussion?), did grammar exercises #1-9 (all except #5) on pgs. 480-481, and defined the following vocabulary words: allusion, analogy, allegory, antagonist, archetype, character, characterization, climax, conflict, and dialog.
UB Spanish: today we reviewed "ar" and "er" verbs, as well as tener, ser, and estar. We took our first look at "ir" verbs, as well as the irregular verb "hacer." BIG QUIZ WEDNESDAY!
UB Literature: We began reading Oedipus Rex. Stay tuned for this crazy family saga!
Since we are reading classic Greek literature, I thought I needed to show off a bit:
9th grade, Me, my friends, Library of Ephesus, Turkey
There are other pictures of the ancient ampitheatre and myself eating a picnic lunch of macaroni and cheese on it, but I'm too lazy to scan them. But still, this is cool!
