We reviewed prefixes and suffixes.
We began our List of Terms that we will add to as the year progresses: you will be responsible for these words for your final exam.
Next day we'll listen to "One" by U2. In addition, we'll view a lesson prepared by my nephew, Dennis, on how to write a literary paragraph.
