WEEK 4

YOUR WORK:

DUE FRIDAY at 5pm. Report your scores and include the summaries.


1. ACT Q set (Passage II beginning "Jane Austen's reputation...")  Corrections and review.

2. Watch this video on subjects.

3. Ex 7, p508 and ex 9, p510. For each sentence in both exercises, do these 3 steps: 
a. identify it as action or description;  
b. identify the subject (watch for compounds; you may have more than one subject);  
c. identify the verb (an action if the sentence is about action, a linking verb if it's about description).  
Corrections and review. 

4. Read the blog post called "Actives Speak Louder." I wrote this for copy writers, but it's still a good introduction to passive and active voice. Write a short summary of the post (50-100 words).

5. Now read the post called "Please, Ink Responsibly." This one points out situations where the passive voice is helpful. Write a short summary of the post (50-100 words, and be sure to include examples). 

6. Read p.633-635 and do exercises 6 and 7. Corrections and review. 

7. Revise the Facial Recognition essay.

8. No new essay this week and no LBGB, just a lot of Mr. Beals talking at you. 

Have a great week!
