English 8

Students were assigned to write a 2-3 page short story for Friday, Nov. 2nd.  They have the assignment sheet which has more details.

On Tuesday, Nov. 6th, students will have a short story test.  They will need to be very familiar with the short story terms and the short stories we have read.  We will be doing review activities over the coming days.

Here are your spelling words for Friday:
  1. desert--the one with cacti and rattle snakes!
  2. dessert--what you eat after dinner (note the ss)
  3. descend
  4. embarrass--note the rr and the ss
  5. excellent--don't forget the c
  6. its--"The cat flicked its tail."
  7. it's--"It's (it is) a lovely day."
  8. loose--"I have a loose tooth."
  9. lose--"Don't lose that bus pass; you won't be given another one."
  10. noticeable--notice + able (the ea together look odd, but it's correct)
