Assignments for Ms. T; week of Sept.20-24 English

Hi, Guys,

I have spoken with a lot of parents during conferencing and many of them are concerned with spelling. So with that in mind, we are beginning a spelling program for all 3 grades. The words are taken from a list of frequently misspelled words for high school students, so you will be working above grade level and it will be challenging. But you know I wouldn't assign it if I didn't think you could handle it. There will be 15 words per week and you will be tested on Thursdays.

Here are the things I would like for you to do between Monday, Sept. 20 and Thursday, Sept. 23.

1) Copy down spelling words. On a sheet of paper, use each word correctly in a sentence. Presentation and neatness count in this assignment. Use appropriate punctuation and capitalization.

2) Write the final draft of your autobiographical incident, description of a place, or short story.  If you choose to write by hand, please skip lines. If you choose to word process, the best way to do it would be to post it on the blog and then print a hard copy to hand in. But I will definitely need a hard copy. This is work that counts toward your overall grade and has been revised by me and/or your peers. Please pay close attention to your feedback. Your paper should be free of spelling and punctuation errors.

3)If you finish both assignments, please study for your spelling test, which will be Thursday morning. If you finish studying, please see me for a grammar packet which will count as extra credit toward your grade.

The first 2 assignments are due by lunchtime on Thursday. Late work will not be accepted this week due to the fact that school is not in session on Friday so PLEASE COMPLETE YOUR ASSIGNMENTS!
