To be or not to be?

Today you took your Chapter 11, 1, and 2 Quiz. Had you reviewed your Chapter 11 and 1 notes, and read Chapter 2 as well as do the Reading Questions, this quiz should have been easy. As you saw, there were some exact questions from the Reading Questions and the Carousel Walk you did last week.

After the quiz, we went over to, too, and two. Here's what you need to know:

"Two" is always a number - the number 2
For example: The two boys shivered in the cold.

"Too" can be used in 2 ways:
to mean "excessively" e.g. too far, too expensive
to mean "also" or "as well" e.g. Will you be skating too?

"To" is used in 2 ways:
to show direction e.g. He passed the ball to his brother
as part of a verb e.g. He wanted to read the new Harry Potter book.

For periods 3 and 4, your quiz on to, too, and two will be on Thursday (we don't meet on Friday because of MCAS.)

For period 1, your quiz on to, too, and two will be on Friday.

Remember, to get some practice in with the homework assignment up on Schoology. It's labeled as the To, too, two Quiz (don't worry, it's not really going to be graded as a quiz.)

Then, we had a brief discussion about dialect, accent, and jargon. The reason we do this is because, as you can see, To Kill a Mockingbird does become difficult to read at times. Harper Lee incorporated dialect, accent, and jargon into her writing so that when we read the book, we can hear the characters talk as she envisioned. I've uploaded the Powerpoint up on Schoology under the Mockingbird folder in case you want to look through it again.
