Only 3 weeks until the end of the term so they work is picking up at this point. We'll be going over the calendar today, but be sure to keep checking in to be sure you are up to date on all projects and are preparing for all tests.
In LA this week we will study spelling list 5: pacify, pacifist, paternal, paternity, patricide, patriotic, sympathy, apathy, empathy, telepathy. For grammar we cover verbals. You will need to complete four exercises from the text by Thursday in preparation for Friday's quiz. In writing we are starting the term two research paper. This is going to be the only thing you are working on for the rest of the term (unless you have rewrites to do). I will hand out a due day sheet for all the steps, however, the dates listed are worst case scenario deadlines. If you stick to them you will get the paper done on the last day of the term. In other words, no chance for a rewrite. I strongly urge you to work as quickly as you can since this paper is going to count as TWO ESSAYS.
In Reading we are going to get the next vocab list. This will be list number two after the Shakespeare vocab we studied earlier. Remember you can access the list via the book's online portal. The rest of this week will be devoted to a short unit on rhetoric. This will all take place in class so you'll have no homework except to read and get started on your next approach paper. Due date is on calendar.
