Week 15: Dec. 1-4

Monday: Holiday. Mr. Brandt plays golf and shoots an all-time record 98 at Davis Muni. Roaring throngs of fans pursue him afterwards, demanding an autograph.

Tuesday: Back to school. Sentence diagrams were introduced. Maybe not as fun as golf, but close. Basic parts of speech, parts of a sentence, parts of a predicate, and types of phrase were discussed and diagrammed.

Wed: More diagramming, this time including compound subjects, compound verbs, adjective phrases, adverb phrases, and direct objects.

Thurs: No grammar! Students instead began preparing their Odyssey group presentations. Groups divided up their sections by line number, and began planning their tableaux.

Fri: 2nd day of group preparation for Tuesday's due date.
