IN CLASS:Today we learned three new root words for our vocab quiz on Friday.
- JACIO/JACTUM=to throw (as in eject or projector)
- AD=to or toward (as in adhesive or addition)
- PRAE=before or in front of (as in precaution or pretest)
Also, we went over the pretest for the elements of fiction exam coming up this week on Wednesday and Thursday. This served as a review of the terminology as well as to help the students know
how to answer the questions on the test. There are no surprises on the test. Students received a copy of the story today in class. They have two days to read it. The exam will be the same as the practice test given on Friday. They will also need to write a theme paragraph on the story on Thursday in class. Students are encouraged to do multiple readings on the story and work through the test before class on Wednesday so they feel confident on the exam.

Exam story for hours 7, 8: "
Araby" by James Joyce
