Chapters 15-29 - UPDATED - Please Read This Post to the End!

First, thank you to the kids who came out yesterday to meet with us about The Art of Racing. We had a great discussion. Y'all missed it!  We plan to do another soon.  Next time, however, you will be required to bring in your assignment typed up, as some students had not finished reading the sections we discussed.  We are also disappointed that we did not get to discuss heroes and their flaws. Next time....

The quiz is up for these chapters (15-29), as well the third set of chapters (30-45).  We will finish the fourth today (only have to add in the vocab), so it should be ready soon.  There are links to the left for all the quizzes.

Once we grade your quizzes, you can see our feedback by signing into Quia. CLICK HERE for the sign-in screen.   We highly recommend that you view our comments because it will help you with subsequent quizzes.  Many of you are using POOR GPS, and we are taking off points.  Another area of concern is your literary response questions (you know - the ones with lit tools, syntax, word choice, etc.).  You are not elaborating enough, nor are you telling us WHY the author employs certain devices, nor WHAT he is trying to teach us by presenting his ideas this way.  CLICK HERE for a sample we typed up for the class yesterday.  It's color-coded so you can see how we organized our ideas.  Follow this model for your lit tools questions on your future quizzes.

REMEMBER,  YOU MUST FINISH THE FIRST QUIZ BY MONDAY (should have been done on the 20th), and the second quiz is due THIS Wednesday!!!!!!!  Get on the ball!

WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR STUDENTS (DOUBLE POINTS FOR YOU IF THEY EMAIL US BY MONDAY MORNING!).  THEY WILL BE REMOVED FROM OUR ROSTER ON MONDAY, SO PLEASE HELP THEM OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
