Week of February 3, 2014
11th Academic English
This week we will continue our grammar work.  We'll focus on Sentence Analysis and use the notation taught to you in class to identify the Parts of the Sentence.  On Friday, you'll take Vocabulary Quiz 10 and will begin work on Vocabulary List 11.  Right now, the plan is to take a test on Sentence Analysis on Monday, 2/10.  However, we will adjust that test date dependent on how well you understand Sentence Analysis by the end of this week.

This week you'll continue work on your research project.  At the start of class on Wednesday, you'll turn in the first set of seven Bibliography/Research Documentation Sheets.  If you haven't done so already, refer to the requirements/example sheet given to you at the start of the project to help you complete this documentation. On Friday, you'll take Vocabulary Quiz 10.  Make sure you keep up with the workload for this project and talk with me should you run into problems.  It is very important that you use your time wisely!
