You handed in your assessment pieces on "What Matters Most to Me", then Kyle presented his mini grammar lesson on rifle/riffle, an interesting example of the changeable nature of the English language and descriptive/prescriptive usage manuals.
We reviewed subject/verb agreement and the difficulties English presents us with its lack of a gender neutral, 3rd person singular pronoun. I've scheduled your grade 11 grammar review test for Thursday of this week.
You had the remainder of the period to work on your expert groups for your schools of literary criticism. Tomorrow you will be presenting in the form of a rotating colloquium. Each person in the group will have a chance to be the expert for his/her school while the other group members rotate around to learn about the other ways of interpreting literature.
