Feb 9

Today we did the bonus poem recitation and reviewed yesterday's quiz. (Except block A; we will review the quiz on Monday) Remember the quiz can be rewritten next Thursday at lunch or after school. We did sheet #6 in the sentence review package. The sheet deals with writing sentences using apposition with or without the reflexive pronoun. We did a few puzzles. Finally we read the story "Test". The assignments for the weekend are:
  1. Write a summary of the story in 5 good sentences or less.
  2. Write a short paragraph in answer to the following questions:
    1. What are the ethics of using that type of test?
    2. Do you agree or disagree with using that type of test? Explain why.
Remember that terms quiz #2 will be given on Thursday Feb 15 and will be on the back side of the first sheet -Audience to Understate.

Have a nice weekend.

Bonus: The mountain remains unmoved at seeming defeat by the mist.
Rabindranath Tagore

Write out the quote on a slip of paper and explain in a few sentences (in writing) what it means to you. Bring it in on Monday.
