Take-Home Assessment/Writing Time

HW (Practice/Take-Home Assessment)

--Complete 45 minutes of Membean training as directed before 11:59 PM on Thursday, 2/8.  If you fail to appropriately train between now and the administration of Vocabulary Quiz #4 on Friday, 2/2 (ACE) or Monday, 2/5 (BDF), you will not be permitted to take the quiz until you catch up (see the "Membean Routine" document).  In fact, I have referred several students to the main office for central detention so that they can get caught up.

Take-Home Assessment/Writing
--Complete Article of the Week #2 as directed for submission on Tuesday, 2/6 (ACE) or Wednesday, 2/7 (BDF).  I am available after school between now and then for anyone looking for a place to work and/or assistance.
HW (Class Preparation)

--Read at least 10 pages of your free reading book between now and next class.  ALWAYS BRING YOUR FREE READING BOOK TO CLASS!

• "There is no substitute for books in the life of a child" (May Ellen Chase).

Writing

--Consider doing the following if you have not already done so:

• Reread your short story with "fresh eyes", taking note of any annotations that I have included on your draft.
• Access the electronic version of your short story and begin revising it.

Miscellaneous
