CYG

Here is the link for the current four weeks of "Caught Ya Grammar" (CYG). Remember, you are expected to complete the daily CYG on your own before we go over it each day in class. I will take up your completed CYG sheet when you are given another in order to give you credit for your work. If you are absent, you are still responsible for completing that day's CYG and checking with a friend. If you misplace the CYG sheet I provided to you, you can print a new one for yourself below.

Preposition Poem

After the test Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday we will be working on preposition poems in class. Students will read some examples of preposition poems, brainstorm for their own poem, and write their rough draft. Then, students will edit/revise the poem and write a final draft. If students don't turn in the final draft in class on Friday, they must turn it in on Monday, 11/19/18 at the beginning of class.

Here are the complete Preposition Poem Directions.

Root Test

We will have a root test on Friday on the following roots: ad, aud, mit/mis. Students should study their roots graphic organizers and be prepared to show them for credit in class.

Quizlet: ad, aud, mit/mis
