We did more preparation for the Core Test.
Those who hadn't finished, answered questions about subject-verb agreement.
Students read a poem -- "Incident" by Countee Cullen, and on a sheet of lined paper in their notebook under "Reading" did the following:
(1) explained how they could connect the poem to a piece of literature we've already read this year, and (2) borrowed the last two lines (Of all the things that happened there/ That's all that I remember) and added to them to tell about an experience of their own.
Students divided into teams and we played Core Preparation Jeopardy, using a PowerPoint.
