This week's spelling/vocab list (see 11/20 post) was copied. Ensure adequate studying is done for these quizzes as a few poor spelling/vocab grades can drag down minor grade averages. (The average of quiz grades is a major grade, averaged with exams, essays and journals.)
Next, we read an excerpt from Robert Cormier's The Chocolate War. One wrong answer for each question was crossed out. Directions were:
~Read the passage.
~Underline main idea in each paragraph.
~Chapter title each paragraph.
~Answer questions, highlight and number proofs.
~Note next to each wrong answer why the answer is wrong.
This last direction is important. If you know why the right answer is right, you should also know why the wrong answers are wrong.
HW:
~Vocab definitions
~Finish passage is not finished in class.
