Language Arts (Period 2) Assignments

By now I am sure you have heard that school is closed until April 14. I have put assignments in Google Classroom for Language Arts. A copy of the assignments is attached below. The same information is available for pick up in the office the week of March 16. Please let me know if you have any questions. You can message me in classroom or email me (you all have school gmail accounts...use them!) My email is [email protected]. You can also use the classroom chat/stream to talk to each other as long as you keep it appropriate. One last thing, NPAA will have sack breakfast and lunch available for pickup. Please come grab one if you need them.

I will be posting support for assignments in Google Classroom and I am available to answer your questions through classroom or email. If you haven't added the Google Classroom app to your phone or device, please do so. Use your school gmail to login. This is the easiest way to communicate with me and your classmates.

Your book-one pager is due tomorrow, March 5. If you did not finish it in class, it needs to be completed at home tonight.

Stay on top of your work!  You should have pages 27-28 annotated and vocabulary marked up in your Studysync book. INB 35-36 should be completed.

Text should be annotated, questions should be answered, and the RACER should be completed. Write out the RACER in paragraph form on a separate piece of paper. Staple together and turn in on Tuesday, 10/29.

See classroom for work sample

If you did not finish reading, annotating,answering questions and filling out the RACER for "Benjamin Franklin" do this first.

Then write out the constructed response on a lined piece of paper.

Check classroom for samples of the work we did in class.

 

Using the RACER on INB page 22, write out your constructed response on INB page 21. If you need more room, add an extension paper. It is important that you complete this at home because we will be working with your writing in class on Wednesday.

 

A copy of the RACER and this assignment can be found in classroom.

Reminder: INBs are due tomorrow. I will be grading the Table of contents and pages 11-20

All late, missing, or incomplete work for first quarter is due by Friday 10/11/19 at 3:15PM.

If you would like to retake a test, you may do that Friday or Monday after school. After Monday, you will not be able to rebound on any tests from first quarter. Remember semester grades (that make your GPA) are cumulative---they include first and second quarter work.

 

Your quizzes from today have been returned. Review your grade and answers and study for a rebound if needed.

I have posted a study guide and quizlets in classroom to help you prepare for Tuesday's quiz on POV and Hatchet chapters 4-7.

 

Academic Vocab note cards

Here are the notes from class. The back should have the completed notes. The front should have the word and an illustration. I will be randomly collecting 1 card tomorrow 10/2/19. If you did not complete your cards in class, finish at home.

If you did not finish the front and back in class, finish for homework. I am collecting this.

 

Finish writing your RACER out as a paragraph (constructed response). Use the RACER on page 15 or the one posted in classroom.

 

Finish INB 13. Use the sample we completed in class as a reference.

If you didn't complete INB 13 & 14 in class, finish it tonight.
