HOMEWORK FOR WEEK OF OCTOBER 12

CO-OP 1.  Some students still haven't turned in revised goals from conferences.  Yikes! 2.  Students should start working on their personal sections for their portfolio and community service should have begun. LANGUAGE ARTS 1.  We are in the middle of writing a memoir.  Requirements:  prewrite, rough draft, typed 2nd draft, revised final draft. The length should be around one page, but no longer than three pages. They have had time at school to do a lot of work, however, now they must finalize their work at home.  The typed final draft is due Thursday, Oct. 15th. 2.  Word Cell Unit 4 - Students should be working through this unit in their packet and preparing for the test, which will be pushed off until early next week.  The units are getting harder, and I want more study time to commit words to long term memory.  Students are all asked to do something else besides the worksheets to prepare for the test.  Many are choosing to write two column notes or make flash cards.  Our test scores have been getting higher with each test!! 3.  Bring Apples!  The cooking apples from co-op's applesauce party smelled so delicious that we decided to make some in LA.  That can only happen if students bring in apples.
