First we started out the class by writing our sentences on the bored that was for homework the night before. We had to make the sentences either with a positive connotation or a negative denotation.
Sen 1: Maryam had black hair, brown eyes and was 5'2.
Sen 2: the sun rose at 6:30 Am and i opened the curtains.
After we finished sharing our sentences and how they were positive or negative, sis. Salma wrote a sentence for a poem that we had to simplify, like what the passage is about. we used dictionaries and wrote down what we thought it meant. Then Sis Salma let us choose from a couple of poems so we can simplify one for Homework.
Then...the bell rang......
Sis. Salma kicked us out and we were on our way.
the end.
