25th Week Feb 22-26, 2010

This week, we will continue learning skills in TAKS OER questions. We were able to finish lessons on the literary part last week. We will pursue expository question and crossover this week. We may even have another set to work on just to see if we have mastered the art of ACE- ANSWER the question, provide text EVIDENCE to support your response, and provide a COMMENTARY in the form of an insightful or analytical statement that makes a clear connection between the answer and support. If we finish all TAKS lessons, we will continue with ACT III through V of Twelfth Night.

Once again, I will postpone having a new set of vocabulary words this week. We will recycle Twelfth Night vocabulary since we have exhausted all of the 120 words already. Our next set of words will be from Great Expectations. I will provide a list at the end of this week.
