The Steps of the Lesson
* First, let's take a look at last night's homework -- your compound subjects in Essay 9. I'll bet you did a wonderful job of enhancing your essay with that special tool.
* Next, let's look at Reading Lesson #2 on "English Lessons for the Class of 2012", on the difference between liking a book and appreciating a book
* Finally, let's continue reading from TOTC, Ch. 23. This is definitely NOT relaxing reading. We are climbing a high mountain in this book, and it takes persistence and courage to do it. Good luck! I'll meet you at the summit!
