Thursday - A good day

Ninth graders:
  • You ALL turned in your homework today!  This means that I will buy doughnuts for you tomorrow morning.  How will you get to eat this doughnut?  Turn in your homework tomorrow.
  • What is your homework tomorrow?  Sentences with the second six words:  tawny, dart, abide, stern, plead, and luminous.
  • You should also be working on (and completing) your summer reading project.  Please ask me if you have questions about this project.
Juniors: 
  • Please watch President Obama's speech tonight.
  • We discussed "MTPOD" today.
  • You also submitted your annotations on "AMP" and took a vocabulary check.
  • Tomorrow, we will discuss "AMP," and you will take yet another vocabulary check, a crossword puzzle.  To excel on this puzzle, please know the definitions and spellings of the following words:  Emulation, Propagation, Brevity, Parsimony, Prudence, Temperance, Subsistence, Avarice, Pragmatism, Gentility, Misogyny, Philanthropy, Diffident, Candor.
  • Monday's test will be AP-style M/C questions on our three articles ("MTPOD," "Tics," and "AMP").

Have a great night!
