English 11: Vocabulary TEST! STUDY

Study all 75 words. This is the real thing!

BCTELA contest entries are due tomorrow. If you were absent today, bring two good copies of your poems and a copy of your short story or your personal essay.

I returned the Section B essays today. Some of you need to study the format. Go to yesterday's blog and read the sample. Read peer samples. Review the template on yesterday's blog.

Focus on Style, content, format and proofreading.

Section A: We started section A today with the two poems on education. Tomorrow, we will read the poems together, make notes, create an introduction together and then you will write the first two body paragraphs and the conclusion.

Friday's class: We will go over all of the stories, Othello, L of Flies, and your novel so that you have a gigantic chart with all the themes, characters, conflicts, events and quotes ready to study over the weekend.

You can start studying now by reviewing essays and paragraphs you have written this year and the corrections. Don't make the same mistake twice.

Today: I collected the USSR forms and all overdue work.

Well done.
