Day Thirty-Five

Tuesday, November 12
Periods C, D

Today we went over the adverb pages in your workbook that you did last week when I was out. Then we took a practice practice quiz...then we took the actual practice quiz over adjectives and adverbs. We didn't go over it yet, but we will next time we have class.

Next, you received a partner so you could peer review his or her phase autobiography. If you didn't share a phase autobiography with me you have a 0 for that assignment and a 0 for this assignment...so you'd better share it with me ASAP. The editing is explained on the handout you received in class (also in the handouts folder) and should be done for the next time you have class. No Fahrenheit homework tonight.
