Hi, everyone.
I forgot to bring home the “Adopt a Box Turtle” article, so I can’t scan it and post it on the blog.
The mini-project is NOT due on Monday. Enjoy your weekend. 🙂
If you would like to get a light green “free homework” ticket …
- Read “Chapter 8 – Conjunctions”.
- Try the pop quiz. Keep trying the quiz until you have all the answers correct.
- Print your answers to prove you got them all right. Write your name on the paper and turn it in BEFORE A2 on MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2016.
- OR … take a selfie that includes you AND your quiz results in the same pic. E-mail the picture to me before MONDAY, FEBRUARY 22, 2016 AT 8:00 A.M.
If you choose the selfie option, you will earn the ticket and a polar point and gum and a paper clip and a pencil and a blank flash card and one risky bean.
Click below for chapter 8 and the pop quiz (you might have to scroll up from the quiz for the chapter):

I TRY not to give homework on the night after a big test.
You MAY bring electronics to class tomorrow for EDUCATIONAL reasons.
READING TEST TOMORROW! (summative – 100 points)
HW:
- Review your loose leaf study study guide at home tonight.
- Bring your loose leaf study guide to class tomorrow. You may use it like a cheat sheet, AND the study guide will count for points on the test.
Just in case you never finished number 7 on the study guide in class today, here is one possible answer:
#7. The Carolina Panthers football team has told players to quit using hoverboards, and the team’s coach, Ron Rivera explained why when he said, “You’ve got to be careful; did you see those things on YouTube blowing up and stuff?”
red/bold – conjunctions
HINT: Even if you DID finish number 7 in class today, you should check your answer to make sure it’s something like the example on this blog.
BRONCOS RAFFLE WINNERS (and 3 friends) are allowed to bring snacks and drinks and electronics to class tomorrow. 🙂
BELLWORK:

Neatly copy question #8 and all four possible answers on loose leaf. SKIP LINES! Then label the possible answers with 1st, 2nd, 3rd and last. Explain how you decided where to place your labels using evidence from the text.

E.L.A. 7 WRITING ASSIGNMENT
Imagine that one day, a few years from now, you become rich and become the owner of a professional sports team. (basketball, football, baseball, or hockey)
Please write a creative, interesting description of your sports team.
Remember to describe
- WHAT SPORT the team will play
- WHERE the team will play (what city? what stadium? indoor? outdoor?)
- WHAT the team jersey will LOOK LIKE
- WHO will play on the team
- and, of course, the team’s NAME
Remember: SHOW not TELL … use lots of adjectives, similes and other figurative language.
- First, write a rough draft on loose leaf. Please skip lines for the rough draft. Your rough draft should be AT LEAST one page (skipping lines) but more than one page is probably better.
- Read through your draft. Use colored pencils to REVISE your rough draft. You should make at least three improvements to your rough draft.
- On a new sheet of loose leaf, write a final copy. You should take your time and use your best handwriting for your final copy. DO NOT SKIP LINES! Please try to fit your final copy on the FRONT only of the loose leaf.
- Neatly staple your final copy on top of your rough draft.
HINT: Your rough draft and final copy are due IN CLASS! Please get right to work and do not waste time in class. This assignment is worth AT LEAST 10 points, probably more.
HOMEWORK:
For a little bit of extra credit, you may draw a picture of your team jersey. Please take your time and make the picture neat and colorful. You may draw a player wearing your jersey or just the jersey alone. (5 points)
