A-List Word Review

Today, students were given a A-List Vocabulary crossword puzzle. The crossword puzzle is due on Friday. This is a review of the specific 14 A-List words that we have studied so far this year. Now we will put the words to work for us. Starting next week we will have a bell ringer activity each day focusing on the understanding and use of these 14 words. Remember that each of these words tell you what directions or writing prompts are asking you to do and a solid understanding of the differences in the meaning of each word is a fundamental skill that every student must master.

Our Independent Grammar lesson this week is labeled Week 6 – Quotation Marks in the resources section of Canvas. WSQ for Week 6 – Quotation Marks is due on Friday, and late submissions will not be accepted for any credit.

Any late work from this quarter must be turned in by this Friday to receive any credit for the work.

Over the next three days students will be reading the third and final section of Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis. The final questions were passed out today and students were reminded that questions must be answered with textual support in their Reading Log.

About the Author

My life has taken many paths. I grew up in Farmland, Indiana and graduated from Monroe Central High School in 1979. Yes I know that seems like a long time ago to most of you. After I graduated from High School, I went into the U. S. Navy. Not a lot of women enlisted in the Navy back then. Boot camp was still segregated (that means there were only women in my boot camp) and yes, boot camp is as bad as they say it is. I survived though and began seeing a little more of the world than just our lovely corn and soy bean fields of Indiana. I was an advanced avionics technician and worked on F14 Tomcat jets in the Navy. Back then women couldn't go on ships but I was stationed in Bermuda for a little over a year. Bermuda is beautiful and the people are warm and friendly. I married my husband while in the Navy and we eventually moved to Minnesota.
