September 12th and 13th
We began our "Rites of Passage" vocabulary study. We started with the first three words: ritual, endorsement, and fathom. We will read these words in the texts and also try to use them in our argumentative papers.
After that, we took a pre-test on conventions. Keep track of your data, so you know which areas you will need to study for the post-test.
Also, more name practice!
