What I did:
I was reading a story book when I found some words I didn't know, so i searched the dictionary for meanings.

What I learned:
I found out meanings of words I didn't know. For example, the meaning of the word "Blandish" is to coax using flattery.

Guys, As you study tonight, review Formal Letters and Factual Reports for Paper 1!

Classwork for 28 August

Hi guys, I am on MC today. Please work in your groups for next week's performance task. Make sure that your article is well developed by this point and does not exceed 600 words (minimum 450). Remember it must be centered around a controversy and have well-established viewpoints from different points of view in your topic area. Also, as you develop your newscast, keep in mind the scoring rubric that will be used and make sure your work is developed around those specific criteria. Your newscast should be done like the last one, but this time only focuses on the one main story your group has chosen. Thanks and have a good Wednesday. Mr. Arrowood PS- If your group has finished (which I don't think is the case for most of you), then do Task 2 from the handouts I gave you yesterday.

Classwork for 12 August...

Hi guys, I am on MC today. Please write an EXPOSITORY essay (350-500 words) during class today and turn it in to the teacher at the end of class for me to look at tomorrow. Here is the prompt: Rainy days bring out our emotions and can bring on many feelings and memories. Think about what you do on rainy days. Do you enjoy rainy days or dislike them? Write a paper explaining several reasons why you like or dislike rainy days. (Remember to use specific details to support and explain your reasons. Use interesting adjectives and descriptions to make your paper interesting to read.) Thanks...see you tomorrow! Best, Mr Arrowood
