1) Pass out PARTS OF SPEECH notes. Tear out G.U.M. workbook pp. 17-26. Bring tomorrow. You will have a grammar test on Monday over parts of speech, gerunds, participial phrases, and clauses. Students worked on these pages while The Grapes of Wrath books were stamped and distributed by number.

2) Students were asked to have their Theme locator charts for reading of Of Mice and Men Chapter 3. Questions for Chapter 3 were distributed. We discussed indirect characterization of Carlson and Curley's Wife and the reason Curley might have married a flirtatious woman and taken her to a ranch full of men. [Students stated that this would give Curley an excuse to pick fights with the men who respond to Curley's Wife's flirting.

NOTE: Study the second half of the Of Mice and Men Glossary vocabulary for a quiz tomorrow.
