This week, we continue with our unit on adjectives and adverbs, covering comparatives and superlatives, tricky adjectives that depend on whether a word is countable or non-countable, and adverbs that answer "to what extent," which includes negatives. We will also continue looking at the Hero's Journey as it applies to the novel you are reading. I will tell you about the project related to this novel. We will begin our unit of integrated study which will help you see how all subject areas are connected to one another.
