GROUP 5 Blue

Monday:

• Read Chapter 9 in history and complete the worksbook pages that go with the chapter. A good strategy is to keep your workbook open while you are reading so you can fill in the appropriate sections as you go along. In class we will be talking about Chapters 9 and 10 and you will be expected to take notes.

Tuesday:

• Wordly Wise Unit 10 Due and activities.
• Read your independent reading book for 20 minutes. Please have a parent sign your assignment notebook to confirm that you did this.

Wednesday:

• You will have a science test for Chapter 2. To prepare for this test you should look over your class notes as well as your outlines and your completed questions for each section.
• Actively Read The Oedipus Complex paying particular attention to point of view.

Thursday:

• Grammar pages due. Students should already have passed in all work up to and including page 47 in the Writing Skills Book. For homework, please complete page 48. Make sure your paragraphs have a topic sentence, are 5-7 sentences in length and edit them to make sure there are no spelling or grammar errors.
  
• Read your independent reading book for 20 minutes. Please have a parent sign your assignment notebook to confirm that you did this.

Friday:

• Lab Report on percentage of composition lab due. You all have the data we obtained and the format of the lab report written in your science notebooks so please follow that format for full credit.
• Read your independent reading book for 20 minutes. If last week you created a postcard for the setting of your book this week I would like you to make an acrostic poem. We discussed what this was in class but see me if you do not remember. Likewise, if you already did the acrostic poem please do a postcard. Below are the two assignments in case you forget.

Create a postcard for the setting of your story. It should have a picture on one side and a short letter on the other like a postcard. In the letter, you should take the point of view of one of the characters and describe your experiences so far in the place where the story takes place.

Acrostic Poem-Create an acrostic poem using the title of your book. Since I have not read the book please include a short paragraph below explaining why each of the things you list is relevant to your story.
