17 Journals are due today for all students in school. For those absent due to the SEPTA strike, you may turn them in on Monday, 11/9. If the strike continues beyond Tuesday, 11/10, I will count the journals as a second marking report grade.
Today's Agenda
1. Check and review homework (Fixing Run-on Sentences worksheet)
2. Haikus - poems that present a vivid picture and the poet's impression, sometimes with suggestions of spiritual insight. The traditional haiku is three lines long: the first line is five syllables, the second line is seven syllables, and the third line is five syllables.
Examples:
quiet, empty streets
attendance in school is sparse
SEPTA strike end soon
