8th Grade--10/21

Today we began by learning a new WM word (miserly), and we practiced using it in sentences. Next, I collected your essay second drafts. If the computer outage at school kept you from being able to print, you can turn it in on Monday for no penalty.


The lesson was on dangling modifiers for the day. We took some notes, and we looked at many examples. The homework is due on Monday on this concept.

E-Buck opportunity! Be the first person on Monday to explain why the underlined sentences above include dangling modifiers, and then reword the sentences so that they are correct. One e-buck is available per sentence!

Due Monday...

-Second draft of OMAM summative writing assignment (if you didn't submit it today)

-Horror story start (1.5-2 pages)

-Read chapters 6-11 of TKAM

Long term deadlines...
