Class today: January 15th (3rd Hour)

1. Today, you will be getting into groups of 3. You will be going through the Montserrat article together. As a group, I want you to go sentence by sentence and have a discussion about its structure and how it impacts its meaning and your comprehension. Refer to your notes to your ideas, and add to your notes through your discussion.

2. Review the following link on Relative Pronouns/Relative Clauses...  Take good notes!
There are ten sentences after the introduction and examples.. try them. The answers are found underneath. See how you do!
