First thing we did today was start on our new lit terms. we learned Chiasmus, which means the opposite of a sentence structure. Also, we learned colloquialism, which means to talk in slang. After we finished our lit terms flashcards, we began talking about our synthesis essay. we read, on our text book, about the different sides or our topic, cammunity service and where you stand. Also, we talked about how to list your sources in the essay but simply stating it in parenthesis. For homework, finish your vocab packet and do your synthesis essay by timing yourself for 45 minutes and by listing 3 to 4 sources. Remember...DO NOT GO OVER THE TIME!!!!

Have a great break!!!!
