YOUR WORK:
Everything is due Friday.
1. LBGB...
A. Read chapter 4.
B. Explain in your own words the five "AVOIDS" in the Style & Usage section.
C. Write a sentence using each term in the pair correctly:
possible / plausible
shall / will
who / whom
D. Write three sentences, each using the word literally in a corret way.
2. The videos have you getting out your green textbook. Ignore that. I posted a pdf of all the exercises here. Show me your work and post your scores. Also, check your scores from last week's exercises. A few of you didn't tell me how you did, so you may need to score those again. Show me the ones you got wrong.
Watch this video on modifier problems ...
and this video on case forms. The video cuts in a little after the beginning, but that's ok. You'll hear what you need to hear. I'm more concerned with you knowing how the objective case works (that's where problems tend to show up) than the subjective case.
3. ACT Q set (Passage III, beginning with "The formal tradition..."). Corrections. *Make sure you do this Q set after the two videos from #1.
4. Revise the Paul Bogard SAT prompt. Most of you need to read the prompt again. It lays out how to organize it pretty clearly: evidence, reasoning, and appeal to emotion (or other style/persuasive technique like word choice). Remember, your job in that essay to show HOW he builds his argument, so use the terms that describe persuasive writing.
5. Go HERE for SAT prompt #2. Remember to use the language of the prompt itself to guide your writing (the basic language about evidence, reasoning, and other elements, doesn't change from one prompt to another, so get in the habit of organizing your essay that way.) NO REVISIONS THIS TIME! So proof it carefully.
Have a great week!
