Tuesday, January 16 ~ Welcome Back!

WARM UP
Journal 1 - Goals for 2018? Goals for your last four months of sophomore year?

EQ: What is an antecedent?

GRAMMAR - Pronoun and Antecedent Agreement

  • Pre-assessment - Let's see what you know about pronoun agreement by fixing the underlined errors. 
  1. Nobody knows that eating chocolate-broccoli muffins is a good way to provide their bodies with vitamin C.
  2. The troupe of knife jugglers shocked their audience when a butcher knife accidentally decapitated the head of an old woman's poodle.
  3. Either the grill crew or the manager must give their permission for you to return that half-eaten double cheeseburger.
Bedford p.271-277 - 22 - Make pronouns and antecedents agree - Take Notes (This is Journal 2)

HOMEWORK
Nope!

Dear Students,
my directions have not been abstruse when it comes to journals. This semester you must have your journals on paper in a separate binder or notebook. Things to remember:
  • I will most often check journals after four or five have been assigned.
  • I will only check for a couple of those four or five. If you have them complete, then yay, you have your 10 points. 
  • If one is missing, it's a big fat 0. 
  • Absolutely no exceptions! You are almost juniors! Time to be responsible!
Love ya all,
Mrs. Witmer
