Homework for
Wednesday, December 4, 2013. Write a
context-rich sentence with each of these words.
Juniors, on Tuesday you wrote a journal entry, then discussed and scrutinized two clips relating to Nickel and Dimed.
Your new assignment is to read and annotate Nickel and Dimed through page 150 by Tuesday. I will probably pick up annotations, and you will have a quote quiz.
Seniors, you had a quote quiz on Monday, and you have a new vocabulary sheet with two new assignments. The vocabulary sheet and assignments are copied below.
