All classes reviewed what a "controlling idea" is, and were reminded that the last sentence of the introductory paragraph should clearly state the contolling idea.
Bear in mind that this is not summarizing. When summarizing, events or ideas in the passage are prioritized and briefly described or explained. For a task of this nature, details associated with the controlling idea are selected, prioritized and explained in terms that connect the two passages.
10R classes are reminded to work on their Julius Caesar handouts (see yesterday's post).
11R classes should continue reading and complete through chapter 17 by Monday morning.
