Monday 9 Oct- English 9 SWS

First- I updated Skyward. This actually means nothing to you. Use it as a way to see how you are doing on each standard. IGNORE the average. Grades are not finalized until January 26.

Next- When Mr. Brue and I finish grading the Farming Papers, we will talk about revisions on those.

Friday #6 is posted. It is a creative topic and will be graded for PL#5.

Today we are finishing up with the Hindu vocabulary and poetry.

Monday 9 Oct- English 9H

Turning in Silhouette Projects- You may attach a file or image to the assignment in Classroom. Or you may turn it in on paper in the basket. Whichever is best.

Continuing key points from the end of the book. Start thinking about theme.

Friday #6 is posted in Classroom. You will need to start this today, as there are many parts to it.

Monday 9 Oct- AP Lang

Syntax focus– Order of parts in a sentence

Natural order of a sentence

involves constructing a sentence so the subject comes before the predicate

Oranges grow in California.

Inverted order of a sentence (sentence inversion)

involves constructing a sentence so the predicate comes before the subject (this is a device in which normal sentence patterns are reversed to create an emphatic or rhythmic effect)

In California grow oranges.

Split order of a sentence

divides the predicate into two parts with the subject coming in the middle

In California oranges grow.

Now try it. Create a sentence and revise it into each of these three patterns.

Columnist– Find another article by your chosen columnist. Record your thinking on the slide assignment in Classroom.

For tomorrow– Review the Declarations. Select one key sentence, one key phrase, and one key word for each piece. This will be the basis of our discussion and I will expect everyone to contribute. Yes, everyone…
