Thursday, January 11th

Here are our plans for today:

• We'll begin by checking out copies of George Orwell's novella, Animal Farm, from the library. You'll need your student ID or ID number. 
• Then we'll begin a lesson on the historical context of Animal Farm, focusing on key vocabulary and Stalin's rise to power.
• Finally, you'll have some WORK TIME for the following:
• Vocabulary review exercise: choose five of the English words on this week's vocabulary list and write a complete sentence that correctly uses the word and demonstrates your best writing ability. Then choose one of the Greek or Latin roots and draw a labeled illustration of it. (Stick figures are acceptable, but feel free to blow me away with your artistic ability.) Due Today.
• One-on-one check-ins with me about any missing work or corrections you need to do.
