TO ALL INCOMING GRADE 8 STUDENTS 2006-2007...GREETINGS!
Well...
ten days to go before we meet face to face...! I am looking forward to meeting all of you in class...and
I am also looking forward to giving out detentions and reprimands to those who did not work on their blog homework/assignments properly.
The key to surviving my class is learning to understand and follow directions well...if you continue to ignore directions and instructions...
YOU FAIL! This will be another test of it...
Here's your
blog homework/assignment this week...and you have until
Tuesday, 08 August 2006 to complete this.
FIRST...I would like you all to properly format your
PERSONAL INFORMATION SHEETS since I noticed that most of it are not well done and not formatted well enough; please
center the top headings, and start everything on the left hand side of the page; after you have done that,
make sure to take out all unnecessary/unwanted underline marks from your info sheet; finally...
print it out on an A4 sheet and have it neatly ready for me when I ask for it during the first day of school---
if you don't have it that time---
you get a zero over fifty...!!!
SECOND...please be informed that we are going to have our
FIRST TEST on the
Literary Terms and
Vocabulary Terms on
Friday, 11 August 2006...second day of school; I will give the meanings, you will give the correct term that corresponds to it...!!!
THIRD...I would like you to kindly
print out your
AUTOBIOGRAPHIES on
A4...please make sure to format it well...
A4/F12/DS/TNR...justify the sides so that it'll all be lined up straight on the right hand side...!!!
FOURTH...on an
A4/F12/DS/TNR...respond to this blog posting in 10-15 sentences...
"
What has been the highlight of your summer vacation and why...? "
Please be sure to explain your reasons well and give examples of what you mean if possible...!
FIFTH...in
7-10 sentences on
A4/F12/DS/TNR, I would like you to please give me a
GIST of each of the five books you read over the summer; kindly have the title and author centered on top of each sheet before you give your 7-10 sentences; by the way, if you do not know what the word
GIST means...
FIND OUT! Remember...
one story, one A4...!
Well...I guess that's it for now...! In case I can think of anything else, I will have about ten more days to add it in before school starts. My suggestion...
start on these homework/assignments as soon as possible and
do not PROCRASTINATE! I hope those of you who have received zeros for not being able to make the deadline on time would've learned not to leave things to the last minute anymore.
Take care all of you and enjoy whatever is left of your vacation. Send my regards to your families and be safe always...! See you next week...God Bless!
CIAO!!!
Mr. A
