For all classes: you are responsible for the following vocabulary words from Jack London's "War:"

monotonously, pungently, repugnant, report, perceptible, anxious, clutching, shriveled, defaced, reconnoiter, invaded, invader, detested, fusillade

Class One: first-find the words in the text and Hi-Lite them. This will give you a context to help you predict a word's meaning (along with prefix, suffix, and root recognition.) Then-complete a vocab square for each word.
If you are retaking the "Sniper" vocab test, you must complete a vocab square for each of the words that you missed on the first "Sniper" test.

Class Two: Same as class one.

Class Five: We'll go over the "Sniper" vocab test and begin work on the next short story: Jack London's "War."

Class Six: Same as classes one and two.

Just a reminder for all classes--marks close on Nov. 10. I will collect all Indie Reading Journals on November 3. Here is the list of "Documents" that you need to have in your journal to receive full credit of 100%: ten letters (6 to friends, 2 to me, and 2 to mom or dad), one up-to-date book log, one book review, one book review check list, one "Dear Reader" letter, one sheet of letter samples, and this list for a total of sixteen documents. If you abandoned any books, you will also need a paragraph (8-11 sentences) explaining why you abandoned that book. If you abandoned one book, you'll need 17 documents; inyou abandoned 2 books, you'll need 18 documents and so on. REMEMBER: INDIE READING COUNTS 25% OF YOUR GRADE> EVERYONE CAN EASILY GET THOSE POINTS BY SIMPLY PARTICIPATING ON DOING THE WORK.
