Research Day 2

Mr. Watson went over why a lady has come here to our school. He said that if you have read two books, then you can vote on your favorite one. If you have read three, then you can get something free from the bookstore. He also said that we are taking the ERB’s over the next two weeks. We will be going over something at the beginning of every class to get us ready for the ERB’s.



In the beginning of the class today, we went over what analogies are.

Example: EXTINCT: DODO :: ___________ : PALACE

Answer: SPLENDID





The relationship between the first pair of words is descriptive; extinct is describing dodo. Therefore, splendid is describing the palace.



Also, the groups worked on their projects. They worked on researching and maybe started their presentation.



Your lists of resources are due today by 3:30.
