HW

Mandatory assignments:
--Baby Step #3: Listen carefully to your words between now and next class. Count how many times you use reactive language, such as "You make me...", "I have to...", "Why can't they...", "I can't...". Then, take note of the reactive language that you use the most. Be prepared to talk about this baby step next class.
--Bring your vocabulary book on Monday so that we can begin our work with Unit #2.  Don't forget!

Optional assignments:
--Visit the following link for more parts of speech practice: http://www.rcs.k12.va.us/csjh/speech.htm. You will be expected to know/apply your knowledge of the eight parts of speech (especially noun, preposition, and conjunction) throughout the remainder of the school year (and beyond!).

--Purposefully read pages 13-27 of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective Teens in order to deepen your understanding of "paradigm" and "principle."
