ENGLISH: Irregular comparisons build on yesterday's lesson on making comparisons much the same way that our irregular verbs lesson built on our verbs lesson. When conjugating irregular verbs, there is no pattern or predictable way irregulars evolve. Similarly with irregular comparisons, words like little become less or least, badly becomes worse or worst. We also looked at prepositions and prepositional phrases as a way of indicating where something is or the relationship between things.

LITERATURE: In a writing exercise, students brainstormed 4 interactions they have had with nature and recorded how they felt in those scenarios. Then when they wrote about the events of that moment, they were able to inject their feelings about the moment. The result was some more colorful writing pieces that made the readers feel like they were there with the author.

SOCIAL STUDIES: In a bit of a thought experiment, students were presented with actual scenarios that King Hammurabi was faced with, and they would see if they could identify a judgement on the scenario that would match the King's. What resulted was a robust conversation about what constitutes fairness both today and 4000 years ago.
