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)

2/6 & 2/7…Journal #1, etc. February 7, 2008
Posted by Mrs. Weatherly--Eng 12, Public Speaking! in Vocabulary, due, grammar, journal, poetry, tests/quizzes.add a comment
1) Journal Entry #1: For what reasons do you want to graduate from high school?
Everyone, please remember, the required length for each entry is twelve lines, then you will write a two page rough draft and edited final draft from one entry. Let’s not blow this grade…again! (OK?)
2) I checked the Vocabulary 7 worksheet for completeness and we went over the answers. So if you were absent, show it to me as soon as possible. And if you didn’t have your worksheet when I checked them, you need to write a tenth grade caliber sentence with each word to redeem the grade. The quiz is Friday 2/15 and Tuesday 2/19!
3) We played a review game and then took our poetry terms quiz.
4) Some bells completed GUM workbook page 221 on usage errors. Ask a classmate (or me) to find out if this applies to you.
5) Classwork/homework…um, I’m at home and I can’t remember the page number. I’ll have to get back to you in the morning. It was Language book page ____, rules ___ and ___, and Exercise 3. Sorry…
6) Please bring whatever you have typed up so far for your poetry project to class on Friday/Monday! Presentations will be given and projects will be turned in on next Wednesday and Thursday; don’t let it slip up on you! (Note: These are the only two days on which presentations will be given.)
