Language Timed Write

Happy Monday everyone!
We are nearing the end of the pain. Today was your second to last time write (the last one will be next Monday) and tomorrow is the last batch of vocab words. Nothing much to report today because you were just writing. Tomorrow make sure you finish the reading and come in with two discussion questions.

Upcoming: Cuckoo Paper due Thursday
Finish the novel for 4/28

Random fact of the day:
What we now call prom was first labeled “the prom” in the 1890s. The word is a shortened form of promenade, meaning a march of the guests at the beginning of a ball or other formal event. Basically it was a way for Middle class parents and kids to mimic the debutante balls of the upper class. It was used to teach social skills and etiquette. The dances were strictly chaperoned and were often restricted to only the senior class.
