1. Do now
Log into your quill account and work on your current lesson, “Identifying & Fixing Simple Misunderstandings About Grammar” that was assigned last week.
“Commonly Confused Words” was graded two weeks ago.
If you are lost and have no idea what we have been working on for the past few weeks, go to and sign up.
Use the following codes to join YOUR class period.
1st period: pesky-end
2nd period: deep-doctor
3rd period: fresh-pear
6th period: busy-house
7th period: firm-reason
8th period: wiry-bat
Work on the assigned activity pack.
Scores will pulled on Monday, March 6th and a new activity pack will be assigned.

2. “We would do the same thing…”
Now that we have watched the news segment about Harambe, you will read the CNN article on your desk.
READ IT!
When you are done reading:
discuss the article with your group
summarize the article
answer the comprehension questions (you may work with a partner)
complete the short essay
If you finish before the bell rings, place your sheet in the inboxes and continue with your Quill lessons. Otherwise, place it in your folder and it will be due by the end of the next period regardless of what other assignments you may have. Hint, hint…
If you have completed Quill, congrats! You are ahead of the game.
Perhaps, you will have the opportunity to discuss your opinion about the Harambe incident in a future [persuasive] essay…
