HW Clarification

Periods 1, 2, 4 & 6:  Your HW is to create a game or puzzle for your Vocab 6 words.   Your game (or puzzle) should include ALL of the words, as well as one word from each of the other five units.  It should include a mix of definitions, synonyms, antonyms, completing the sentence...and, if you can, maybe a picture or two.    Remember, your game should reflect the challenge of one of our vocab tests.  If you do a board game, you can work with a partner.  Otherwise, it is an individual assignment.

Periods 3 & 5:  You are one of the students in Sherman Alexie's creative writing class (he describes the two kinds of students in the last paragraph of his essay).   Write a 120-150 word journal entry from the perspective of one of those students.  Be sure it is reflective of the essay we read in class yesterday: "Superman and Me: The Joy of Reading and Writing."   Click HERE if you lost the essay, or if you were absent and needed it.

Have a good weekend, guys and gals!

  1. So, just to clarify, we should have a total of 29 vocab words in our game, correct?

  2. *Actually it should be 28, because iambic pentameter is repeated twice in the list

  3. Hey Mrs. Rodriguez, where can we find the Vocab 6 words? All I see are units 1-5

  4. The vocab words for Unit 6 are posted in one the previous posts.

  5. There are 13 words, and then you need one per unit 1-5. That would technically be 18. Add two more words from somewhere.

    In addition, the Unit 6 words are in a post from November. Go hunting! Look at the archive section to the right, click on November, then look for the post.
