The first thing I would like for you to do today is to grade yourselves and your story partners based on preparedness, contributions to the story, quality of work, focus on task, and cooperation with group members. Fill out the form below to assign a grade to you and your partner. Be sure to provide specific examples of why you believe you each deserve the assigned grades and be HONEST about the grade. If you were in a group of 3, please fill out all three sections of the form (grade every person in the group, including yourself). There are grading scales and directions on the form.
After that, we will get back to our favorite part of English III: vocabulary practice! Our words for this week are:
stoic
verbose
egregious
complacent
fastidious
quagmire
Since I am not here, I would like you to work with a partner to gather notes for each of the six words. You can work quietly together to complete the notes. Remember, each word entry needs:
- the word
- part of speech
- definition in your own words
- example sentence
- fun way to remember it
Please be prepared to discuss the words tomorrow at the beginning of class!
You will have whatever time is remaining to free read! NO computers while you are reading! Use your time wisely; the end of the quarter is just over a month away, so you should be making steady progress through your books!
