1) Students reviewed the "absolute phrase." You can search for this concept on the internet for more examples: GMAT examples. They were given an exercise for labeling parts of speech and different phrases.

2) Students who did not finish the two essay questions from yesterday's test were given 20 minutes to do so while the students who did complete their essays worked on the grammar.

3) Students discussed examples of indirect characterization and viewed the handout on the essay outline for "A Sound of Thunder" foreshadowing in the story.

HOMEWORK: Students are to complete the labeling on the handout for model sentences.
