Day 80

Objective: Students will make progress on their outside reading books

1.  WP Number 28

2. Work silently so everyone can focus

2. Complete your outside reading book and book report.

 

WP Activity:  Semicolon

     As the semester came to an end, the teacher realized that he had missed one thing.  His sophomore students still have a district test, however, he did not cover the correct way to use a semicolon.   There is 1  question on the test that he actually got wrong.  And of course he wants his students to do well on the test so that he can continue teaching honors classes.  He finally was able to cover it on the third to last grammer activity of the semester.
