OPTIONAL Make Up Day -- Tuesday 2/18 from 12:00-3:00

Grammar

• Intransitive and Transitive Verbs
• Remember this trick-- If a verb has a DIRECT OBJECT, then it is a TRANSITIVE VERB.  If it does not have a direct object, it is intransitive.
• Click here and complete the online quiz.  Choose the correct answer and click "submit" to see if you were correct.  Remember-- let the direct objects be our guide!!
• Complete the Quiz that I handed out in class.  You can use examples from your book to help you.  If any problem is tricky and you need to look back for help, then please mark that problem with a star.  This will help me know what may be tricky for you, even if you got it correct!
• Complete the more practice section on page 339.  THEN, click here to see if you were correct.  (It helps NO ONE if you cheat... this is for you to improve!)
• Complete lessons 56, 57, and 58.  Corrections can be found here so you can check as you go.  Please, if you have difficulty with a problem, mark it with a star so we can discuss it in class.

Literature

• Complete the vocabulary page given in class BEFORE you read.  Read the directions carefully.
• Read chapters 1-4 and complete these reading comprehension questions.
• Create a poster that represents your imaginary utopian society.  You need to have at least 3 symbols to represent your perfect country/society.
• You must have these three things written on your poster:
• If there are any leaders in your society, how will they be chosen?
• If there is a need for any, how do members of your society make money?
• What are the 3 most important laws that your society will have?
