Class begins at 11:45.  I seem to always run out of time... I just have too much that I want to do.  If it would be possible for you to stay until 3:20 each week, can you let me know?  I would love to extend the day for this Tuesday class IF it's easy for everyone.  Thanks!


Science

Heads up-- There is NOT a lot of science this week, but there IS a lot of literature!  Don't slack off until Sunday/Monday!
  • We will have a test over chapters 14-18 on Tuesday.
  • STUDY!


Grammar
  • Read through lesson 63 again.  Complete the "More Practice" set ONLY.  Then, click here to check your answers.
  • Complete lessons 64, 65, and 66.  After you finish each lesson, click here to check your work.  Put a star beside any questions that you need to review in class!

Literature
  • Click here for a packet of vocabulary pages.  The first two pages are for chapters 9 & 10.  The rest of the pages are OPTIONAL vocab study material to help you prepare for the quiz on Tuesday. 
    • Here is the Quizlet over the entire book! 
  • Read chapters 9-10.  There are no reading comprehension questions this week.  Instead, I have a study guide packet for you to help you prepare for class. This is NOT required, but highly, HIGHLY, suggested. 
    • Also, here is a wonderful resource that will help you get a better understanding of the novel.  You can click on most of the links on the left side to explore the summary, theme, characters, analysis, etc.  I highly suggest you spend some time on this site. 
  • On Google Classroom, I posted a document that I would like for you to read through.  The first page is the page that I had on the screen in class.  You should have this material in your notes.  Read through the next few pages of the document.  This will correspond to the different types of advertisement strategies that we glued into our Literature Notebooks.
  • Watch this video on persuasive strategies:
    • Complete the COLOR CODING activity given to you in class.  You need to use a highlighter or colored pencils to outline (or underline) the parts of Squealer's speech that utilize strategies of Ethos, Pathos, or Logos.
  • Bring in your Putin article activity from last week.  If you didn't bring it to class on Tuesday, you get a chance to bring it in!
  • Create an ad for an existing OR an imaginary product.  Use at least 3 techniques that are listed in your literature notebook (and in the document on Google Classroom).  You can write the script for an ad that you perform in class, or you can make a video of one.  If you make a video, you must send it to me as a file via Google Classroom so that I can save it to show in class (or you can save it to a USB flash drive).
    • Your ad should include at least 3 different techniques.
    • You need to explain your techniques on a notecard or piece of paper, listing whether or not they are pathos, ethos, or logos, as well as the specific type (bandwagon, name-calling, fear, plain folks, testimonial, glittering generalities, unwarranted extrapolation, bad logic, or other that isn't listed in our material.)
