1) Define the words illogical, cultivate, subtle, placid, and reliable. (Second block: I got confused and showed you the next slide with anguish, tilled, bias, analogy, and ambiguous.) Remember, this should be on the same page with the previous set of words and will be used on your final exam…if you don’t lose it. ;-l
2) Chapter 7 reading check: complete the following (checked for a classwork grade) Ch. 7 Reading Check LotF
3) We read the first half or so of Chapter 8 together. A juicy action chapter…
4) HW: Journals are due next class! Also, make sure you’re keeping up to date with your LotF questions.
Have a great weekend! Happy birthday to me! (haha)
Reminders for 2/4 & 2/5. February 5, 2008

1) We have a poetry terms quiz next class!
2) Also, you have just a tad more than a week to finish your poetry project (a test grade)! Please bring your information with you to class; you may have some time to work on it. If you need help, arrange to stay after school; I’m more than happy to help you. You can comment/email me, too.
3) We’re checking Vocabulary WS 7 tomorrow/Thursday. Vocabulary quiz 7 will be on Friday February 15/Tuesday February 19. (Monday the 18th is Presidents’ Day, so we don’t have school!)
4) Finally, seventh block has a special homework assignment due tomorrow 2/6. It’s page 463 in the Language book, exercises A, B, C, & D. Other bells may do this assignment for extra credit.
5) I almost forgot… second block didn’t meet yesterday, so you will see an ‘e’ for excused in the gradebook for “SOL Practice 2004 RLR.” I would love for you to do this practice, but we don’t really have class time to devote to it. If you can squeeze this assignment in after you finish your other work or after school or during first or fourth block, I’ll give you a grade for this, too. Does anyone need to boost their grade??

We’re off pace with the other blocks a bit, so don’t forget that we’ll be presenting our Theseus illustrations and taking the quiz on “Theseus” and the myth and legend background material on Monday!

…will be on 12/4-5 (T-W). I’ll add the word list tomorrow probably; I don’t have the sheet handy at the moment…
affiliate exalted encumber invariably plausible
pompous portly proximity rejuvinate unprecedented
and there they are!

Please forgive me for not posting this yesterday, I think I had the post-holiday sleepies…
All blocks except for second (since so many students were on the Pruden Center field trip) will have a quiz on the myths and legends background material and on “Theseus” on Wednesday or Thursday 11/28-29. Be prepared to explain the cultural value represented by two of Theseus’ deeds in paragraph form!
Presentations of each person’s illustration of one of Theseus’ deeds will be given prior to the quiz. Let’s be prepared!
“Theseus” cloze summary November 21, 2007

I decided to collect this (“Theseus” cloze) for a (classwork) grade after all. Please be sure that you finished it and get it to me Monday or Tuesday (depending on which bell you’re in). The story is on page 662 in the literature book. Thanks! Second and sixth block: you had to do this mostly for homework anyway due to our shortened bell today; don’t forget to bring it back!

Electricity is a fairly recent discovery. Think of (and briefly describe) five to ten things to do when there’s no power. Complete sentences, please (not just a list) and 12 or more lines, as always. (11/20-21)
