In 1960, American author John Steinbeck made a cross-country road trip in a pick-up truck with his dog Charley. Steinbeck's goal was to re-acquaint himself with the American landscape and the American spirit. He wrote about this trip in his book Travels with Charley. Our next reading assignment will be an excerpt from this book in which Steinbeck shares his experiences in the Badlands. That excerpt is the source for today's Verbals Review Activity #2. Writing Lesson (Maroon Day): Today we will have a Google Meet class to discuss the Verbals Review Activity completed yesterday. Grades have been posted in Jupiter. Please take a look at your score and review your handouts over participles, gerunds, and infinitives. After our discussion, you will have the opportunity to complete Verbals Review Activity #2. This will be due for points at the end of your class block today. Please do not work on it until you've had a chance to go over the concepts in our Google Meet today. Comments are closed.
