Greek and Latin Roots and Opinion Essay Update

Because of the delayed opening on Friday and shorter classes, the quiz that was scheduled for Friday will now be on Monday.  We spent our class time Friday reviewing prepositional phrases and Greek and Latin roots.  Here's a link to the Bingo game that we played, if you want to review your root words. The first couple of pages give the instructions for the game.  Scroll down to the 3rd page to see the roots and then some words that are derived from those roots.

Opinion Essays

I have been grading essays and posting grades in Google Classroom.  I am also sharing the rubric with with students so you can see your grades.  If yours is graded, please take the time to read my comments in your document and read the rubric that I shared with you. Please be patient with me if yours is not graded because each one takes quite a bit of time to read, grade, and give thoughtful feedback.

There are still many students who have not turned in their essays, and there are students who are receiving theirs back because they missed important concepts such as citations or evidence and elaboration.  If you have questions about how to do the essay or need help with typing, please come by my classroom before school from 7:50-8:10 or after school from 3:15-3:45, and I can help you.

Have a great weekend!
