• Why immigrants risked coming to America
• Use specific examples from the video, books read and information from your Social Studies class
I read the poem from last night's homework, "Young Sea", to the class, drawing attention to its alliterative repetition of the 's', the sound of the surf, throughout the work. We discussed the meaning of the poem (the sea = the passion and restlessness of youth) and went over the questions.
Tomorrow another passage will be given in class for a major grade.
HW: Study spelling/vocab
