TO ALL GRADE 8 STUDENTS...

GREETINGS!

I am posting your three-day weekend assignments way ahead of time since I do not want you to be waiting long, again...!

LITERATURE

Prepare for our discussion of the story CHARLES (pp. 473-477) sometime next week...!
In your NB, do #6 Connecting With The Text...!
On an A4/F12/DS/TNR, do #3 Writing A Response: Dear Laurie on page 478; make sure that your letter does not become offensive when you present Laurie with your ideas and comments; you have to follow the proper format of writing a letter where you find the date, salutations, intro, body or bodies, closure, and signatory...if you do not know what these are all about...FIND OUT...!

On a WSP, write down how you intend to do your Book Report Presentation; keep in mind that you only have to do one of the four presentation manners; you might want to have two choices at the moment if you are not certain yet which one to do; include in your write up what materials you will be needing, what ideas will you be presenting, costumes, music, visual aids, etc...!

GRAMMAR & WRITING

Prepare for your second to the last (150-point) MASTERY TEST on your Literary/Vocabulary Terms on Monday, 15 May 2006...!
From magazines or newspapers, cut out ADS with Advertising Slogans that represent the four types/kinds of sentences; you should have at least three examples for each type/kind...meaning, at least 3 Declarative, 3 Interrogative, 3 Imperative, and 3 Exclamatory sample ads...!
On an A4/F12/DS/TNR, in no less than five sentences, tell me which part/chapter of The Little Prince story do you intend to present in front of the class?! What materials will you be needing, props, music, costume, etc.; presentation dates for this will be 22-23 May 2006...!
Using your sample AUTOBIOGRAPHIES, jot down in your NB what ideas or topics do most of them contain; go over them carefully and think in terms of the person point of view, content, format, style, etc...!

I guess that's it...! Have a GReight three-day weekend, everyone...be safe and be good! God Bless...CIAO!!!
