The Wonderful World of Technology Wednesday

Wednesday 1-19-11

Today, class begin with a great big hello to Smith and another welcome to our speaker Ben Horblit and Mr. Fisch.  During grammar time (aka every ones favorite time) we learned an equation, independent clause + independent clause= complex sentence. That equation is helpful to know for the grammar sentence if you were absent today and is helpful to know for the grammar test on Friday and yes we are still allowed to use the purple packet. Also, in class we were given the privilege of listening and having conversations regarding technology with, Ben Horblit and Mr. Fisch below are some notes that I took that should give a brief overview of what was discussed,
