Homework


ONGOING ASSIGNMENTS:
Anne Frank essay due Friday, March 27
IXL assignment due April 8:
 
GG8, PP1-PP3, W1-W3

Work for Thursday, 3/26 - Friday, 3/27:

For Friday:
Please submit the requested work to my Google Classroom. Please keep everything else that you did over these two weeks so that we can review when we return from Spring Break. Do not throw things away-- I may end up grading them when we come back.

For Thursday RPS work, please do #1-5 in "Vocabulary Strategies: Using Latin Prefixes" on page 69 of your Collections book. Please do these on the same sheet of paper on which you did page 52 last Thursday. You only need to write the "Re" word and what it means. 

Anne Frank House website and extra credit:
Please spend a few minutes checking out the Anne Frank House website. It is really interesting and worth your time. Here is the link:

I have attached to the bottom of the page the webquest that we usually do in class. You may earn five points of extra credit by responding to one of the writing prompts on the assignment (#1-5). You may do up to 3.

For the Cambridge dashes sheet: 
  • The "discussion questions" the directions talk about are those two questions after the bullet points, and they really are just that-- discussion questions. You don't have to write your answers. They want you to look at those sentences and realize that a phrase OR a clause can be set off by dashes (called "em dashes," technically, I think because they are the size of the letter "m," but I'm not totally sure about that). They also want you to see that two dashes are used when the phrase or clause is inserted into the middle of the sentence.
  • For #1-4, answers will vary. You are really trying to express the same thought without using the dashes. The point of it is to see how difficult it is to do that. For #1, I would write, "She wouldn't willingly leave the job she loved. No, in fact, she couldn't leave it."
  • For Part III, #1-6, just insert dashes where they should go in the sentences. You have to figure out if they need one or two dashes. For #1, "Peonies, roses, azaleas, geraniums, birds of paradise-- I've never seen so many colorful flowers all in one place."
  • FYI Pro tip-- to make an em dash when typing in most word processor computer programs, put two hyphens/minus signs (--) right after the word, and then a space before your next word. The em dash should automatically happen. If this were in Word, my example for #1 ("birds of paradise-- I've...") would have become an em dash after I hit the space bar after the word "I've".

Work for Monday, 3/23:
At the bottom of the page, I have attached a very short explanation of how to use the ellipsis. Please read and then complete the worksheet from your take-home packet.

Other assignments this week:
Please...
1. Complete the ellipsis worksheet included in your packet (I think it was in Week 2).
2. Make sure you finish your Anne Frank essay.
3. begin reading excerpts from the actual diary written by Anne Frank (Collections book).
4. begin reading The War Within Our Hearts.
5. work on IXL.

I will post additional assignments later in the week.


Work for Thursday, 3/19:
For your weekly RPS practice, please do page 52 in your Collections book, "Vocabulary Strategies: Using Greek Prefixes." Just follow the directions. You are basically writing the word and what you think it means, based on your knowledge of the prefix "tele." Write your answers on a sheet of paper. You can use the same sheet of paper for next week's RPS.

Otherwise, work on Anne Frank essay. Make sure it is completed by the end of next week. Please do the grammar work for tomorrow on Monday. I will send a Powerpoint or a link to a video with instructions to help explain it.

Have a nice weekend!



Work for Wednesay, 3/18:
New IXL assignment due April 8: GG8, PP1-PP3, W1-W3

Bear with me on the Anne Frank essay assignment-- I am working on the directions right now.


Work for Tuesday, 3/17:
I sent a post on ParentSquare about the assignment for today. Other than that, please know that, for the grammar bell ringer, please do one side of the sheet (looks just like the stuff we do on Tues. and Wed. as bell ringers) this week and the other side for Week 2.

The same goes for the Analogies worksheet-- do the front this week, the back next week.

I didn't want to waste paper by printing one one-sided page for Week 1 and one one-sided page for Week 2.


Work for Monday, 3/16:
So... I truly didn't anticipate that we would finish the play before we left. Today, go ahead and do the work for Friday, the "Infinitives" worksheet (parts 1 and 2).
Also, I have attached the PDF of The War Within Our Hearts at the bottom of the page. Do not forget that you have cross-curricular work using that book for my class and Mrs. Rasmieh's.
