Wednesday, Nov. 19 - Suffix quiz on first 5; review verbs; fact and opinion. Homework:  Quiz Friday on ALL suffixes.  Verb tests were returned.  Students may make corrections for half credit. The lowest grade a student will receive on corrections is a 70.   Students must rewrite the sentences they missed on a separate sheet of paper - telliing me which section it is from and the number of the sentence(s).  They must follow the directions for that section written on the test. The original test and the corrections sheet are to be stapled together and turned in no later than Friday.  I will not accept corrections after Friday (except for Block 1 - they have until Monday). I will also only accept the corrections if all corrections are made on all incorrect answers, not just a few.
