Monday, December 15 finishing up Coleridge's "Rime"

Learning targets: 1) I can read, annotate, and analyze informational texts on topics related to diverse and non-traditional cultures and viewpoints. 

 2) I can determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative connotative, and technical meanings; and analyze the cumulative impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone 

3) I can determine two or more central ideas of a text and analyze their development over the course of the text, including how they interact and build on one another to provide a complex analysis and an objective summary of the text. 

If you missed the vocabulary quiz last week, please make arrangements to make up the assessment anytime but during your class period.
