Hopefully, after class today you have the definitions for the 30 words on your vocabulary list. Some very helpful suggestions for studying those words:
1. Learn 10 words, and parts of speech tonight!
2. Learn 10 words, and parts of speech tomorrow night.
3. Take Saturday off and get refreshed.
4. Learn your last 10 words Sunday night and review the other 20.
REMEMBER.......... Spend extra time on the words you don't know.... incredulous, haggard, irrevocable, strenuous, jovial, retrospect,culmination are 7 words we went over while reading. Study words which are difficult for you. The test will require you know how to use the word, how to define the word and what part of speech the word is. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!
Hopefully, you finished reading Chapter 6 and 7 aloud and have worked on your bookmarks. There's lots of figurative language in Chapters 6 and 7. We'll talk about it on Monday, September 27th.
Do you have a better understanding of "subjects and predicates'? Remember to look for the verb in order to find the predicate and ask yourself "who or what" is doing the action or "who or what" the sentence is about in order to find the subject.
Reading/Writing Have you begun writing your 5-paragraph essays about the person you most respect?
Read Chapter 8 for homework over the weekend and complete Quarter Notes.
