The parts of speech retest has been postponed to Thursday, Nov. 28 in Flex. Please see me Tuesday if you need a review booklet.
Last day we read Chapters 7-9 and worked on the corresponding questions. As part of the assignment requirements for the unit (see unit overview attached), students are asked to bring ONE draft paragraph next day on a chosen topic related to the book. Students can choose between an expository paragraph, a descriptive paragraph, or a persuasive paragraph draft to complete, and they will need to complete one of each before the unit is done. Choose ONE topic and write a draft paragraph on that topic for next day, Nov. 20 You can find a list of my generated topics for the paragraphs so far here: docs.google.com/document/d/1UfNAY6IaYjRcXrYRjmD0rfveJ_GpNEb3P1C7-PmM_HI/edit?usp=sharing Unit Outline and Schedule
