Wednesday, 10/30 - Washing Oneself after a dip in the "Bath"

The Wife of Bath
  • P&P
  • Please have J5 out so I can spot check it. As I walk around, please do the daily assignment below.
  • G.U.M. (Grammar, Usage, and Mechanics) - This is the first daily grammar exercise. When you arrive to class, quietly check the blog and copy down the sentences you see here as I've written them. Then you will make any edits to correct any grammar, usage, and/or mechanics errors you find. Then we will discuss as a class. 
    • And please dont be offended at my views They're really only offered to amuse  
  • When you're finished, please copy down Lesson 2 Latin Roots, which you can find on the right column of the blog (it's called "Roots").
  • Now let's discuss J5 - "The Pardoner's Tale"
HW: Update notes in your binder (Canterbury Tales notes, grammar notes, and Latin Roots Lesson 2).
