We explored the etymology of "vandalism" and how to access the American Heritage Dictionary and the Oxford English Dictionary online (www.bartleby.com and www.kcls.org).

We looked at the words "than" and "then" and checked them off the list of commonly confused words on the back page of the planner.

We looked at some of the students' 97-word summaries of George Fitzhugh and tried to learn what a summary is and is not.

Quiz Tuesday over all of Frederick Douglass's Narrative, with emphasis on Chapter 11 and the Appendix.
