- 30-minute essay/integrated writing test tomorrow (Friday). Sign up for a time online.
Classwork
- In the lab, rewrote Task 6 (Some people think that children should begin their formal education at a very early age and should spend most of their time on school studies. Others believe that young children should spend most of their time playing. Compare these two views. Which view do you agree with? Why?).
- Took a quiz on sentence structure (Unit 7).
- On a handout, indicated the connecting words you would like to study in the next unit.

- Read the introduction for Unit 9 on connecting words, pp. 199-201 in the new book, pp. 164-167 in the old. Be prepared to answer these two questions:
- What is the difference between a coordinating conjunction and a correlative conjunction?
- What are some of the functions that connecting words perform in a piece of writing; that is, how do they help guide the reader through the the text?
