If you missed our benchmark today (maybe you were sick or on the field trip) you need to make it up during class on Tuesday when we return. You will then need to check out a Holt Handbook and complete the class work that you will miss on pronouns. If you want to get a head start, go to the MCMS homepage, staff, McNeill, Presentations, Powerpoints, and then choose "Parts of Speech." Review personal and possessive pronouns (also reflexive and demonstrative if you are a go-getter). Our team will be going on the field trip on Wed. and I will be in training on Thursday. You will begin your next writing assignment, a problem-solution essay (more details later). If you want a head start go to the Elements of Literature link on the home page and then choose collection 2 and scroll down...you can read a sample essay that I will give you in class as a model.
For now...just enjoy your 3 day weekend. See you bright and early Tuesday- rested and ready to work. Reminder- it's a blue week.
