Week of 11/28

I hope you enjoyed your time off! We are "project based" for the next few weeks. You will be working on your newspaper article, a project for the mystery/suspense novel, and finishing the adj/adv unit. The adj/adv unit test will be December 13/14 (your day 2).

UPDATE: Because of the interruption due to the weather, there will be no Membean assessment this week. (I can hear cheering.)Continue working on expanding your vocabulary, please.

IN CLASS THIS WEEK:

Day 1: Double negatives, Countables/non-countables with degrees, by-lines
Day 2: Introduction to the Mystery Box project, punctuating dialogue
Day 3: Review adj/adv concepts, subject complements
Day 4: Receive study guide for adv/adj unit test, review

HOMEWORK:
Membean 45 min due Sunday evening.

The newspaper article is instead of the journal entries for this week and next week. Work on your newspaper article on Google Classroom; first draft is due 12/9.

Read mystery novel, due Dec. 5.

Review the adj/adv concepts to identify where you might need clarification or practice.
