English 9 Friday, Sept. 10

Finish the vocabulary words 1-8. Study their meanings, parts of speech and synonyms. Be prepared for a practice quiz on Monday. The real quiz takes place Friday. Also, be sure to check your agenda daily since you write the homework down each day before the end of class. This weekend read the number of pages in your USSR book that you committed to reading.

Also, check to ensure that the sentences you wrote for the vocabulary words contain the word's meaning.
For example,

She has empathy for her father. (This sentence is not acceptable since it does not include a reference to the word's meaning) Fix this error by adding more information.

She has empathy for her father because he is upset about losing his job.

or

She has empathy for her father; she understands that he is upset due to the loss of his job so if forgiving him for acting angrily around the house.

Proofread each sentence for spelling or grammatical errors.

Look forward to seeing you Monday.
