Today we had a shortened class. We discussed your eulogies and the type of writing effort I received. I gave you a reflection paper that you had the class time to write on. With any additional time you had the Big Wave worksheet to work on.

HOMEWORK:
The Big Wave worksheet is due tomorrow.

Wednesday Jan 23rd

Today we corrected last night's homework. Be mindful and sure that you know exactly what makes up a compound sentence.

Next we reviewed the first section of The Big Wave. Make sure that when you are working on the second and third section you are being complete with your answers.

Class/Homework:
You received sections 2 & 3 of The Big Wave. You had a portion of today, and will have about 15 minutes of class time to work on it. This assignment is due on Friday when you come in. I would wager that you will need to designate some time either tonight or tomorrow to also work on it!
