This week will be devoted to the seven(7) uses of the noun and Vocabulary unit # 9 (pages 110-117) This, actually, is the original plan for the week of November 18 - 22, because there was a change in those plans. We showed the film version of "Flowers for Algernon" instead of the original 7 uses of the noun. I will also have a one on one with all students about their stories.
Monday: Vocabulary Unit #9. This will be done for the first 10 minutes of the class. We will, then, start discussing the 7 uses of the noun. Homework is to complete Vocabulary unit # 9.
Tuesday: (Blocks 2, 3 and 5) Go over the vocabulary homework. Students will receive some handouts during the course of the week to help review of the 7 uses of the noun.
Wednesday: (Blocks 2 and 3) Continue with the 7 uses of the noun. Students will go up to the board to answer any questions. This will be a student-driven class. There may be some homework related to this, so be aware of any assignments. (Block 6) Same as Tuesday. We will, also, review the words for the quiz on Friday. Students will be given a handout on the 7 uses of the noun to complete for homework.
*Thursday: (Blocks 5 and 6):Students will have a handout to complete for a class grade.
*Friday: Vocabulary quiz #9
*I will not be in classes on Thursday and Friday. My son, Zachary, is getting married that weekend, in Orlando. Mrs. Willis will be my substitute. She has been informed of what will be done in all the classes and students will be aware, as well.
