- Remember to keep your report on Einstein's Theory of Relativity on the light side. (Get it? The light side??!! Well, I thought it was funny........)
- Find 3 sources (2 must be books; only 1 may be internet and NEVER wikipedia or any wiki-site!)
- Read page 57 in your WAG for specific instructions on this assignment.
- YOUR SHOEBOX EXAM IS NEXT WEEK! Complete your own box according to the directions I sent home weeks ago, and study up on the scientists so that you can figure out which box matches which scientist. There will be no "word bank" with the scientists names, so come prepared. Remember, there will be 2 prizes awarded. Again, refer to your instruction page for details. This should be lots of fun, so don't let your classmates down by bringing in a sloppy version of your Shoebox.
Grammar (Latin)
I know that you all wrote down your new Latin Assignment in your WAG, but this I'm reposting the information for your parents' reference:
- Memorize the 1st Declension endings
- Memorize the three 1st Declension exceptions (nauta, agricola, poeta)
- Using the sample you took home, make flashcards for nouns 1-46 in your LNST book.
- Complete exercise on page 26 to review your knowledge of verbs.
- *For those of you who didn't complete the task, finish highlighting/marking declension # on the nouns in your LNST book. You will use those nouns to create your flashcards.*
Exposition (Lit and Comp)
This week, you will read "Where the Red Fern Grows."
- Complete your Story Chart (make copies of the blank one I gave you for future use)
- Take notes toward next week's essay **REMEMBER THAT THE ESSAY HAS BEEN CHANGED. See details below.**
On Week 10, this will be your essay topic: Romans 8:28 (God Works for the Good of Those Who Love Him)
Billy found ways to make money; he worked tirelessly and patiently to EARN those coon dogs. He diligently trained them and lovingly cared for them. His dogs brought him a great deal of happiness, but they also brought trials of pain and grief. Describe how God used all that happened- even the sad and tragic events - to answer the prayers and needs of him and his family.
You'll type a 5 paragraph essay. (Intro, Body, Conclusion) *If you take the optional paragraph, it'll be a 6 paragraph essay.
Here's a sample of the body paragraphs:
I. Cite instances when Billy and his family prayed. What did they need/want/ask for? What does God tell us about prayer?
II. Discuss Billy's grief over the loss of his dogs. What did Billy learn from the sad experience? How did he grow?
III. In what specific ways did God use all that happened in Billy's life to benefit him and his family? How did he answer their prayers?
IV. *Optional* Describe a difficult challenge/rough experience/loss you've faced. What did you learn and how did you grow as a person and a Christian as a result?
Debate
You have 2 options for homework this week.
- Option 1: Complete a Current Event form for "The Persecuted Church." Your article must be within the past year and may not be the 2 incidents I referenced in Nigeria.
- Option 2: Write a response to the two questions on page 31. It needs to be typed.
The 1st 1/2 of the semester is complete; you've all had time to adjust to the schedule and workload. From here on out, UNLESS YOUR PARENTS EXCUSE YOU, I will not accept homework that is not turned in on the day it's due. It will be marked as a zero, and that will be reflected in your Progress Report. You've had a nice, lengthy grace period, so be sure to prepare your backpack with all of your homework and books before Monday morning.
From now on, "I don't have it with me," will have to be accompanied by a parent's excuse. ;)
I hope you're all able to get out and enjoy the pretty weather this week!
