DO NOT TAKE THE NWEA LANGUAGE TEST TODAY!

If you are NOT finished with your NWEA READING test, that is your job today.

IF YOUR NWEA READING SCORE WAS SUCCESSFUL (7th grade level or higher OR your score went up) …

• You may have VERY QUIET free time the whole hour.
• You may leave your assigned seat BUT ONLY if you go to an empty table.

IF YOUR NWEA READING SCORE WAS UNSUCCESSFUL (less than 7th grade reading level and/or your score went down) …

• First, complete the word search.  Use a highlighter if you want full points.
• Then, choose something quiet to work on.  THIS IS NOT FREE TIME!
• You SHOULD be practicing on IXL or prepdog so your NWEA LANGUAGE score will be successful.

HW:

Neatly copy these questions on loose leaf then answer.

YOUR ANSWERS MUST BE COMPLETE SENTENCES THAT RESTATE THE QUESTION.

YES … YOU DO HAVE TO COPY THE QUESTIONS! (IF YOU WANT FULL POINTS)

1 – Why did “Going to die” turn into “gonna die”?

2 – Why does the text say “the nose” and not “his nose”?

3 – What was the plane eating?

4 – Where were the lakes?

***  BONUS QUESTION FOR EXTRA CREDIT ***

CW:

YOU MUST LEARN ALL THE WORDS AND DEFINITIONS FOR THE 20 WORDS IN EXERCISE 73.

• There are many ways you could do this, so I will let you be creative and do this in your own way.
• One of the best ways is to look up the definition.  Then read the word in a text. THEN USE YOUR OWN WORDS TO MAKE A VERY EASY DEFINITION. Then study the words and definitions.
• Making a Google slide show is ONE option … BUT … your score will be ZERO if you make a beautiful slide show and you don’t know all the definitions!
