Today in class, we reviewed grammar and and talked about diagraming the sentence. If you were absent, practice the following sentence to review for the quiz tomorrow: can you come over and watch the movie casablanca after school.

Then we transitioned into the comparison presentations between Ned Kelly, the Chicago 7, and Marcus Yallow from Little Brother. Clarrissa, Andrea, Maddie, Olivia, and Jenna gave a Prezi presentation and performed a country called,"Online" by Brad Paisley. Noah, Natalie, Savannah, and Grace presented a Political Revoulutionary Pyramid comparing the six food groups to comparisons between the three. Lastly, Rachel, Hannah, Mackenzie, and Maggie presented a techy video and a rap song! We will continue the presentations tomorrow.
