English 11 (D block)
- Read True Diary! To page 98!
- You have your first vocabulary/Day 5 check in on Monday. Here are some hints on how to study:
- Study current week’s words—make sure you know what the definitions mean! (Check notes from class, and use vocabulary.com to help clarify.
- Practice using the words in sentences. Use vocabulary.com, your notes, and wordsinasentence.com to help you.
- Compare words from this week to other words you've studied in the past. By asking, “How is ________ like ______________?” you’ll be practicing definitions and looking at the distinct meanings of each word.
- Try to think of examples and situations to use the words that make sense to you. Use mnemonic devices to help you remember. Think about the way the word sounds, draw pictures, think of characters you could use it to describe. We’ll practice this in class; figure out what works best for you (and check in with me if you need help).
Creative Writing (E block)
- We'll talk about "Why Write?" next week--finish reading and marking if you haven't already.
- Keep thinking/planning/writing ideas for your own "Why Write?"
