Your weekend work

Please continue to read and annotate Speak.

Also, your Vocabulary Unit 2 words are linked on the side.  Please complete sentences for them; our quiz will be on Wednesday.

I also added those tone words.  Finally.

Enjoy the beautiful weather this weekend!!!

Downloading Speak...shhh...don't tell anyone.

There are a couple of options here.

Click the link on the right.  You should get a .pdf file.  If you're on a tablet or phone, you may have to selection "view web version" before you can see the links.

Once you click on it, download it if you are using a computer.

If on your phone/tablet, save it somewhere.  Here's what my iphone looks like when I click it:




I just open in iBooks and go.

Read through page 12 for tonight's homework.  Calendars are in the works.  And no worries...our reading will pick up tomorrow.

Sentence time, yo.

Please write one sentence for each vocabulary word tonight.

These sentences should include context clues.

You may email them to me if this is easier.

Your letter to moi

Due FRIDAY:

A letter to Mrs. Rock.  Isn't letter writing a dying art?

Your letter should do two things: it should tell me about you and it should make me aware of your expectations.

You can tell me about anything: your likes, dislikes, favorites, least-favorites, hopes, dreams, goals.  I like to know about you.

Your expectations may be ones you have for me, English class, this year, or even Oakcrest.

It should be one full page typed or handwritten.  Typed letters should be double-spaced and may be submitted to me via email.

See you tomorrow!

Welcome, Class of 2020!

Is that even right?  Can you be that young...and am I that old?

Nevertheless, welcome to Freshman Honors English I.  You found this place.  Now bookmark and check it regularly for the remainder of the year.

To the right, you can find a copy of our course expectations and grading policies.  Know them well: )

<3,

Mrs. Rock
