It's PSAT week, which means that we have no class on Wednesday and that you get half a day off on Friday!

Bring your Literature & Composition books!
Working in pairs, we are going to work on the following activities listed in chapter four:
· Page 132. Ten minutes. Share.
· Pages 148-149.
· Page 150.
Now, working alone, do the following exercises:
· Page 152.
· Page 157.
We will share some of this work in class. Make sure that you save all your individual work. You will be handing something in by the end of the nine-weeks for another test grade. So far, by the end of Monday/ Tuesday, you should have the following:
a. The free-writing response to “what it means to be an American.”
b. The activity on page 152, where you choose one of the topic sentences and write a paragraph that could be part of an essay. Make sure that you paraphrase and use quotes that—as the book puts it but I am going to emphasize with italics—are carefully chosen from two of the texts as support.
c. The pick-a-topic-sentence or write-your-own and then write a paragraph exercise on page 157.
Homework: Vocabulary exercises in Chapter Five of your books.
Thursday/Friday
I will be checking to see that you have your vocabulary book and that you have done the exercises. Your hand-writing needs to be legible so do not wait until the last minute to do it. Scribbles that look like words do not count. Then we will go over the words.
We will do the exercise on page 160.
For homework over the weekend, read part of chapter five, from pp. 161-193. In writing (or typing), answer “Questions for Discussion” (191-192) and “Questions on Style and Structure” (192-193).
