NOTE ABOUT GRADES: The quarter ends on Friday, but not all grades are completed or entered until after Spring Break.

HOMEWORK

TODAY
Fri, March
We completed the combining sentences worksheet on complex sentences then played a board game with review questions.

Thurs, March 4
We used our books to read illustrations of more ways to combine sentences then used worksheets to practice. We read our completed paragraphs.’

Wed, March 3
We began class by looking at scores for the quarter exam which are posted. The scores are not complete for the quarter, however; research papers and conduct scores still need to be entered. Students also handed in unused passes for extra credit. We then read some background info about a Jewish rap artist and specifically his reason for writing a song called “Never Again” about the Holocaust. It is a very powerful song and students were able to read the words as they listened. It talks about so many of the things we read about in Anne Frank. I also read a poem that talks about what people did during that time as resistance. We worked the rest of the period with our worksheet on combining sentences.

Tues, March 2
Quarter Exam

Mon, March 1
We again reviewed writing sentences using clauses. This will be on the exam tomorrow and is one of the best reviews of clauses. We then began Chapter 10 on combining sentences. This chapter is a break from grammar and focuses on writing style.
