Dec. Monthly Papers / Semester Exam

Your December Monthly Paper will be your 1st Semester Exam for Eng. 10.  IMG_1549 IMG_1547 IMG_1546 IMG_1548 IMG_1544

“Your Word.” The American Heritage Dictionary. 4th ed. 1981. Print.

Each of you will be given a page from The American Heritage Dictionary.

You may pick any word on the front or back of that page.

You must write your Dec. Monthly Paper about that word, using the page as your in-text and Works Cited citations. (See above for Works Cited example) Remember in-text citations must include the first word of your Works Cited citation and the page number.

Your monthly paper will count as 75% of your Eng. 10 first semester exam.  The other 25% will come from the “gift of words” exchange item you create.  This may be done using the dictionary page as the pictures demonstrate, or you may create any gift of words item to put into the class exchange.  Your score for this additional 25% will come from the quality, creativity, and originality of your exchange gift.

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.
