Mini Assessment Tomorrow

So we'll have a mini assessment on indirect object pronouns tomorrow. If you look in your packet right after the last questions we did in class today (the ones with the pictures with stick figures), you will see a "quiz." I think it is called Quiz 41. Anyhow, your assessment tomorrow will be along the lines of Quiz 41. Check it out, not to hard.

Take a Quick Read

I graded your essays today. They were better than we all expected. As I have been saying all along, you need to self-motivate to check this site, practice on your own, plan ahead, etc. My expectations for writing and speaking increase greatly as the course progresses. Anyhow, as I said today in class we'll move through this mini-unit on indirect object pronouns quickly. I had planned to have you do a mini-assessment on IOs on Monday, but I just found out that they have scheduled an assembly during block 2 on Monday. I want to get this assessment in before the end of the quarter (Monday), so we'll have to move it to this Friday. Take the time to read up on indirect objects tonight or tomorrow night here: http://bit.ly/GWpTdU.

Homework for Wednesday March 28

In the big indirect object pronoun packet that I gave you, complete all questions up to 53 and then do ALL of Quiz 40.
