Today, we began with the review section for lessons 13-15 in the sentence diagramming workbook. This includes Direct Address, Prepositional Phrases (modifying nouns), and Appositives.
For those of you still experiencing issues about what to put on the main line in a sentence diagram, I recommended that you follow these steps:

Then, we moved on to discuss last night's reading, pages 369-394 -- the extraordinary escape from Efrafa! Most of you thought Bigwig did a fairly good job getting the does out of Efrafa, and while plenty was out of his control, he managed to make the best of the opportunities presented to him.

HOMEWORK:
There is no new reading in the novel for tonight. Instead, you are to read two articles about followers today, and to write a 12-sentence paragraph in response to the question: Who in the novel exemplifies admirable followership? Your paragraph must quote directly from the novel AND the articles!
You may find the articles on the class wikispace.
Also, your Unit 5 vocabulary quiz will be on TUESDAY. The format will be identical to the one for Unit 4.
