English 9

Make sure that you have read Chapter 10.  Do questions #1,2,3,5, and 6 for homework.

Also, your two diamante poems about two characters from the novel are due on Wednesday.  Make sure that the presentation of the poems is neat, correct, and pleasing to the eye.  Appropriately sized images must be included (that means, do not supply images that are too small for my old eyes).

Finally, start collecting your five useful vocabulary words today.  These words can be from the class novel, your independent novel, newspapers or magazines. Make sure you write the word, its part of speech (noun, verb, adjective, adverb), and its definition.  Do not give slang words (I don't want to know that you can define "twerking") or very specialized scientific words (I do not want to know that you can define "gamopetalous: adj. Botany. having the petals joined to form a tube-shaped corolla").  The point of this exercise is to find useful words that will broaden your vocabulary and help you become better writers and readers.
