Day 2

Zander

 Language Arts

1. Write toil and strife in your notebook, each on its own line. Pay attention to those words while you read.
2. Read the first paragraph of lesson 6 in the McGuffey Third Reader. Notice anything about it? Here are the words in regular type. 

3. • Lend a hand to one another

     In the daily toil of life

     When we meet a weaker brother,

     Let us help him in the strife

     There is none so rich but may

     In his turn, be forced to borrow;

     And the poor man’s lot to-day

     May become our own to-morrow.

   •  
4. Guess what you think those words mean.
5. Look up each word to see if you are right. Type define and then the word into the search engine. Write the correct definition of the words in your notebook.
6. Now rewrite the paragraph in your own words. What is it saying? Example: For the first line you could write, “Help each other.”
