We are also going to have a quiz on Monday on the following SAT words: Eloquence Emendation, Chagrin, Foreboding, Besiege, Pedestrian, Gloat, Macabre, Fallible,Adventitious, Fathom. Also, the test will cover the Greek and Latin roots: Aud-chrom.

I am also excited to tell you that we will be studying The Jungle, and modern connections to the text! This unit will include reading about the current food industry, looking at charts and graphics, and watching documentaries relating to this fabulous text. This unit will approach the controlling idea essay, as well as the elements of a successful analytical essay.
