Today we finished grammar notes.  Don't forget that I'm checking your notes on Monday and that you have a quiz as well.  You can find the link to the notes on yesterday's post.

The new vocabulary list(s) went out yesterday.  If you were absent, it is your responsibility to pick up the list.

Here's the link to the Flashcards on Quizlet. If you'd like to get a head start on the Vocabulary Writing Exercise, here are the requirements for this week's sentences:

Choose any five words.  Write a sentence for each using the word correctly, with context clues, and while following these sentence structures:

1. One sentence must be COMPOUND using a comma and coordinating conjunction.      

2. One sentence must be COMPOUND using a semicolon and transitional adverb.

3. One sentence must be COMPLEX using a subordinate clause.

4. One sentence must be COMPLEX using a relative clause.

5. One sentence may be written any way you like as long as you use the word correctly and use context clues.
