TUESDAY September 4

Today you received your textbook! We discussed understanding sentences beginning on page 374.

I also checked to make sure you did your homework. I looked for a signature on your draft from someone who read your work at home.

Classwork/Homework:
You had plenty of time to begin the bookwork in class. In case you didn't finish it though, it is now homework. Page 374 #1-15, Page 377 #1-15 and #16, 20. Each part requires answers only.

The other part of your homework is to finish your friendly letter. The final copy is due tomorrow WITH THE RUBRIC! You need to copy the rubric below, paste it in a word document, and hand it in along with your Final Draft (typed, of course!)

RUBRIC FOR THE FRIENDLY LETTER


___/20 gives clear details for all the paragraphs given in the directions

___/20 clearly edited (grammar/mechanics)

___/5 includes rubric attached to the BACK

___/10 includes all 5 parts of the Friendly Letter

____/55 TOTAL POINTS
