We finished Chapter 5.1 and worked on our timelines for the Dominion of New England.
We reviewed our questions to Light in the Forest, Chapter 4, and discussed point of view as was revealed in the text. We have our vocab test tomorrow!(Light in the Forest words ditties, grimace, bandy-legged, strouding, ominous, plus two of your own choosing).

Period 3 -
We turned in our Light in the Forest questions for Chapter 3 and 4 and practiced writing with elaboration in our table groups. We will begin typing our memoirs during class tomorrow - bring flash drives in order to take your papers back and forth between school and home.
