February 10/11

1: After discussing the importance of using a variety of examples and thoroughly explaining evidence in the rangefinders, we added to our vocabulary, completed an allusion quiz/scavenger hunt, worked on our fourth week of tone words (topic today was High School Musical), and began the CDQ text 1. For Friday, make sure that you have the pre-writing (your ideas and probable evidence about the topic) and the introduction written for CDQ 1.

7: Read the synopsis for first hour. You are in a tie.

2: After vocabulary time, we completed the allusion quiz/scavenger hunt and worked on our fourth week of tone words. Tomorrow will be CDQ work on multiple claims.

A little tone paragraph reading...

4: After turning in your choice CDQ prompt, you completed your first full MC exam. I scored 45/54, so let's see if any of you surpassed me! We finished the hour with adding four vocabulary words. And, don't sulk, we will complete our tone paragraphs tomorrow.

All absentees:
*If you missed out on the fun of the allusion quiz/scavenger hunt, there will be two times next week before/after school to make this up in a group environment with other absentee students. The announcement of time/date will be by the end of the week.

A little speed learning in action...
