I hope you’re enjoying your day off while I’m stuck here at Lowery Middle School going to all these fun and exciting meetings.

Here is an easy chance for extra credit points:

Predict who you think will be the next president of the United States of America.

Send me an e-mail with your prediction BEFORE 9:00 p.m. Eastern Time Zone on Tuesday, November 8, 2016.

Your answer MUST include evidence from the article about Clinton and Trump.

dobertn@dearbornschools.org

Also … I made a spelling mistake up there ^ somewhere.

HW:

Read and annotate the Trump and Clinton article and the Pokémon debate article.

Both articles are on the same piece of paper (front and back).

Then create one nice flash card.

You SHOULD make a flash card for a word you don’t know from the articles, but you COULD use one of the “words to know” from the bottom of the Clinton/Trump article.

If you studied A LOT on Tuesday night, study just a little bit more tonight.

If you didn’t study much on Tuesday night, study A LOT tonight.

possible BIG QUIZ (50 points) tomorrow

HW:

1. VOCABULARY restate questions. Answer on loose leaf.  You should have taken the question paper in class.
2. STUDY FOR THE QUIZ! Use your study guide to help you. Bring the study guide to class tomorrow – it counts as part of the 50 points. Also bring pages 41 and 42.  Those pages should be fully annotated.  We did that in class last Thursday.

REMINDER: The full text of “Seventh Grade” was posted on this blog three days ago.

HW: (this counts as CW and HW because we actually started this in class today)

• In your composition book on page #5, neatly copy the BW story. Use your best handwriting.  Do not skip lines.
• Show it to your teacher.
• Then go back and erase several words and replace them with slightly different words so that the story is changed.
• Do NOT change any of the bold vocabulary words.

HINT: Her father warned her to not take too long on the X-Box.

I don’t like to give quizzes on Mondays or Fridays.

If you’re not sure how to study, start with answering #3 from page 43 on loose leaf. If that seems too easy, try #5.
