The class introduction consisted of an introduction to the substitute teacher, Mr. Rosenberg, as well as a review of the lesson plan.

Question 3: “A hyperactive child,” and “an impolite/degrading judge.”
Question 2: “An inclination for that activity,” “on the recliner, your physical fitness will decline.”

VoiceThread:
The rest of the class became a workday for students to work on the memoir piece, which will ultimately be a combination of all the memoirs, and converting it to voicethread. The primary focus was on adding the voice elements and putting the project together.

Homework:
The homework for today is to complete the SAT exercises by Friday and to continue work on the memoir so that it will be completed by Friday.
