Miss Arney, since I was absent yesterday and today in class, I didn't get the writing seminar packet. But should I attempt the journal due Monday? Or should I wait until I get the packet and do the work that we were assigned before first?
Nanxi: The journal assignment is actually on the agenda page. You might want to speak with a classmate before starting it...or just look for the new thread on this blog.
Oh, Jeremy...to your other question about "What happens in...": Yes. But I'm going to have to disable it so that you guys can dialogue on the journal forum. Will someone in Period 9 please remind Terence to edit his previous comment. Thank you!
I have a good quality of a teacher. This teacher was one of my elementary school teachers. She was a tough teacher, but she helped me a lot when it came to school. She was very caring and you could tell that she loved her job. One thing she did to make sure that no one made any mistakes on their h.w was she would make you stay in at recess and correct any mistakes in your hw. I absolutley hated this because I made a lot of errors in my math hw, and would usually end up staying in her classroom while everyone else was outside having fun. I realize now that she taught me not to rush when doing my homework, and to take my time. She is definitley a good epitome of a concientous and caring teacher.
Annette: If you click on the link beneath the dog, it should take you to the extra credit page. Then click on the TKM xc assignment. If you cannot access it, try cutting and pasting the link below: http://www.prhs.k12.ny.us/fac/arneyd/English%209Honors/Eng9H%20Extra%20Credit%202009-2010.htm
Miss Arney, for the extra vred assignment, it states that you or you and your partner may create up to 2 menus for this quater. Does that mean we can hand them in at the same time?
Wow...so many questions; I'm going from the bottom, up. Annette: yes. Megan: either is fine for both questions Tracey: No - it can be someone from the other class. Oh, and I will be changing it so that one menu can be a TKM themed restaurant; the other can be from our other reading material (Odyssey; ATTWN; Mythology; Oedipus)
I have the same question as Lauren: Can we do the annotating homework on looseleaf or type it? I think if I use Post-Its, they will all fall off the paper by the time I am ready to turn it in.
The sub today said that we had to create our own introduction for homework after we finished correcting the introductions sheet. However it's not on the agenda sheet and what is the introduction for (what journal entry)?
Don't go too crazy; highlighting and typing/ writing out the notes would be absolutely fine...or highlight with post it notes. Victoria: I thought I made it clear on the agenda update - you aren't writing your own intro; that will be done as a group in class on Thursday.
Miss Arney, On your website it says to "Get your groups ready for the So You Think You Know BOO About Mockingbird? novel scavenger hunt challenge!" I do not remember hearing anything about this.
Jason, Miss Arney mentioned it a while ago that we were going to have a huge scavenger hunt around the school and at each part you have to answer something about TKAM. I think you can be in groups or by yourself but Miss Arney will probably explain more later.
Not exactly, Danielle: I'm sorry if I confused you. You won't have to answer questions in different parts of the building. Your group will be given a test; the answers can be found in the novel. Your group can go "hide" in a corner of the buidling to answer the questions -- but you don't want other groups to eavesdrop on your answers, so you need to be hiding.
For the amazon.com reviews I am having trouble understanding how we are supposed to write notes on that.. I was led to believe that we should just edit the reviews.
Miss Arney, I noticed on the agenda that the Vocab Test as well as the Journal are due Friday 2/19. However, those of us going on the Model UN trip to Boston leave Friday morning. Should we drop the journal off in the morning?
For the homework tonight should we write paticular quotes from the amazon reviews having to do with content, style, and diction or should we just write down or should we just write down the general review number?
Tracey: I didn't know about that. Yes; maybe you guys can take the vocab test after school on Thursday (and, yes, drop off the journal before you leave). Danielle: you can CODE them. Put an A in the margin next to the first quote and then put "A" under the category it fits. Does this make sense?
Eric: Umm...I'm sorry but I don't understand your question. Please read the above posts b/c people have already asked questions about the assignment. If it still doesn't make sense, please write again
Lauren, I think that you are supposed to pick 5 for content, 5 for diction and 5 for style. But you don't have to use all of them and I think you can use one for more than one category
For the Romeo and Juliet recitations, can we memorize three 10 point passages (total of 30 points)? Or can we memorize one 10 point passage and three 5 points? I'm confused...
For the prepositions homework-- I am really confused, it says on the agenda sheet it says not to circle possessive prepositions, but in class we did this sentence, "Brian, do you have my ticket to the play?" and we circled "my", so in "Carol, will you help me carry our trunk?" would "our" and "me" be the prepositions that we circle? Im so confused!
James - I think you mean pronouns?..... We didn't circle "my"; we underlined the sentence and I put it under the main line. IF a pronoun is used as an adjective it is NOT considered to be a pronoun anymore. So when I put "my" under the word ticket, it was to show it is no longer a pronoun - it is an adjective. Simply put: do not identify possessive pronouns as pronouns because they are now adjectives. Does this make any sense at all?
Erin, I know you posted this a few days ago but i think you could do 3 10 points or 1 10 point and 3 five points but the most u can earn is 25 points even though the 3 10 point recitations add to thirty.
No; we will begin R&J tomorrow.... thank you for being conscientious enough to ask the question, though. I just never expected for us to have 2 snow days; I blame Grace. She jinxed me! :-)
For the TKAM menu, if you are working with a partner do you need 3 appetizers, 5 entrees, and 2 desserts, or 5 appetizers, 8 entrees, and 3 desserts? I wasn't sure when the assignment said add to add it to the original or not.
In the grammar HW tonight, should we put "to Gale" in the prep. phrase column and "Gale" again in the IO column for the sentence, "Rico gave his paper to Gale."
Joanna, an indirect object mus always come before a direct object (paper) so in that example "to Gale" is a prepositional phrase and "Gale" is not an indirect object.
Nanxi, there is a list for a list of vocab if you scroll down the the English 9 honors front page and here is the link: http://www.prhs.k12.ny.us/fac/arneyd/English%209Honors/English%209%20Honors%20master%20list%20with%20definitions.doc
In the grammar HW from last week Wendnesday, do you have to diagram the questions it's telling you to do on the paper? Also, how do you diagram a question??? Grammar is my weakest point in this class and very troublesome to do, I'm stuck at the diagramming though so any help is really, really, REALLY appreciated. In advance, thank you to anyone who can help!!!
I'm going from the bottom up...and I'm sorry I'm home so late from tonight's grammar gang. Amanda: I told you to ignore the directions on the page and to follow those on the website. You aren't expected to diagram anything.
Annette: Thank you for helping Nanxi and Joanna!
Victoria: Indirect objects and prepositional phrases are something we have covered in class... if you are really confused, can you stay after tomorrow (don't turn in the assignment tomorrow; we can talk about it after school if you are available).
Amanda, if I am thinking of the same grammar homework you are thinking of, Miss Arney told us to disregard the directions and just fill in directly on the sheet the correct objective form.
For the grammar homework tonight, I am confused what to use for some of the antecedents. If the sentence is 10. Every woman did (her, their) best to make the program a success. would the antecedent be every, woman, or every woman because every is also singular so I am not sure what to use for the antecedent.
Miss Arney, this is kind of random but are we going to have any major assignments like journal due after next weekend? I am going away to Albany for Youth and Government, and I just want to know in advance
Thanks Danielle. I know I posted a while ago, but I haven't had the chance to check the blog for a really long time. Thank you so much for clearing that up for me.
For Part 2 of the grammar homework tonight, should we indicate the pronoun and its function in the sentence (e.g. subject, predicate nominative, direct object, indirect object, object of preposition) or follow the directions listed on the sheet? Also, number 19 on Part 1 reads: "(They, Them) is solely responsible for making the institution's rules and regulations." "They/Them is"?!
Jeremy: for number 19, there was a note up on the white board (that probably got overlooked b/c of the ...um....excitement(?) in class today. Change the "is" to "are" And I guess for part 2, just follow the directions I typed for it. I typed the assignment up a few weeks ago; I guess I forgot that I had veered away from the directions in the first part. Sorry for the confusion.
Miss, Arney for the quiz tomorrow, do we need to know what happened in the stories or the people in the stories. Because on the sheet you gave us it was just the people.
For the grammar Dr. Seuss sheet, I am confused on how to diagram 'that' and 'them or there'... I said that was a direct object. And them or there are adverbs, so I put them under the verb?
Tracey, I think 'them' is a pronoun so for a sentence like number 5 them would be a direct object. 'There' is also a pronoun because it is substituting for a place so for a sentence such as 7 I think it would also be a direct object. "That" can either be a pronoun or adejective. For number 3 that is a pronoun but if Sam-I-am had been in thesentence I think itwould have been a adjective. Sorry this is so long but I hope this helps and is correct!
Danielle: You rock! I just got home from LIU so I'm so glad you got to Tracey's question. Remember that the there and here are ADVERBS. Everyone: review your notes! the big test is coming! (Then I can be an "it"!)
Jeremy, if you look up Green Eggs and it is "here or there" but since it is a typo I think it would be okay whether you put "there or there" or "here or there".
For number two on the Green Eggs and Ham sheet, what would Sam be because I is the subject and am is the verb so is Sam a direct object or an adjective describing I?
For tonights grammar assignment i am confused about the prepositional phrases. For example in sentence 13 it says "I do not like them with a mouse" so for the diagram would you put "with a mouse" under the verb (would eat) or under the direct object (them) ???
hey guys, for tonights grammer assignment it became very clear that there and here are adverbs which I now understand their placemnt underneath a verb when diagraming yet, they are connected by or which in many of our other diagrams we would make a rocket ship and i have looked into the yellow packet as reference for adverbs like here and there, yet none of the examples of information supports a statment using "here or there" in the same question. So my question is how to diagram "here or there" underneath the verb.
I'll try to see if I can explain this. You have to diagram "here" and "there" as if they were separate adverbs under the verb and then connect them with a dotted line and write "or" on the line.
Jeremy: that is a great diagram and a great site. Billy: remember, there won't be an example in the chapter 19 packet with "here and there" but double adverbs should be there...no?
For the grammar HW this weekend, do we need to do all of that labeling and noting what part of speech it is or are we just filling in the correct pronouns?
Miss Arney, I was reading through the Act I notes, and I am confused with the one regarding Benvolio. You said that Benvolio has a prophecy of his death, and that this death will occur soon afterwards. I am unable to connect this with an event in the scene? When did this happen?
I don't think Benvolio dies in Romeo and Juliet so maybe the question meant how did Benvolio prophesize Romeo's death or how did Romeo prophesize his own death? Maybe it was a typo but I am confused too.
Killeen, I think we are allowed to have allusions from anything we have done this year. Also, I was just wondering the day we get back to school, will there be extra help?
thanks lauren! and im not sure about extra help but i know Miss Arney said that she will be posting practice grammar quizzes online so those should help alot for the test
Miss Arney, I was looking at some of the grammar review sites, and I saw some things on them that we did not go over, like "count nouns" and "mass nouns". Please tell me that these will not be on the test.
No, of course not. Some of the test questions have been lifted directly from old exercises/ homework activities. There will be nothing "new" on the test.
Questions that answer when, where, and how (setting questions) are all modifiers. I'm making this a multiple choice: a) adjective b) adverb Check your notes and be prepared to answer that tomorrow, Kelly ;-) I know that I'm being a little evil
Miss Arney, on one of the homeworks when filling in pronouns, one of the sentences was supposed to end in you and your friend. I put you first, and your friend last, because I thought you always goes first. But it was marked wrong. Is this a mistake or am I doing something wrong? Thanks
Also, if there is 'us' you' and 'me', what would the order be?
Greetings, Scholars of the Class of 2013. I look forward to reading and responding to your posts on this site. Please note that the "gadgets" on the right-side column of the blog home page are not ads. These are games and resources to help you in class. Sharpen your grammar skills, learn a new SAT vocabulary word, or research some characters in mythology!
Does anyone know when the vocabulary test is?
ReplyDeleteWhen is the vocabulary unit test?
ReplyDeleteThe vocab test will not be until after the brief February break...and I will post a new grammar challenge this weekend for next week.
ReplyDeleteThank you Miss Arney

ReplyDeleteWill someone in Period 9 please remind Terence to edit his previous comment. Thank you!
Don't worry Miss Arney!!!!! I got it covered!
ReplyDeleteTerence: it's the word "ugly" with the noun it modifies that I am worried about....just call it a venting session, ok? :-)
ReplyDeleteI have a good quality of a teacher. This teacher was one of my elementary school teachers. She was a tough teacher, but she helped me a lot when it came to school.

ReplyDeleteIf you wish to add to the discussion as Taylor has, guys...keep it positive. Only positive comments allowed here!
ReplyDeleteThe wordmasters test tomorrow, it does not count right, but you can earn B squares?
ReplyDeleteTracey: You are correct.
ReplyDeleteOk great, thanks!
ReplyDeleteDid anyone find the new extra credit assignment? I clicked on the "lazy dog" link but i don't see the it anywhere.
ReplyDeleteAnnette: If you click on the link beneath the dog, it should take you to the extra credit page. Then click on the TKM xc assignment. If you cannot access it, try cutting and pasting the link below:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.prhs.k12.ny.us/fac/arneyd/English%209Honors/Eng9H%20Extra%20Credit%202009-2010.htm
Thanks Miss Arney! It only worked on internet explorer, on the other browser it only showed the old extra credit assignments.
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney,
ReplyDeleteFor the extra credit assignment, if you work with a partner, does it have to be someone that is in the same class?
Miss Arney, for the extra vred assignment, it states that you or you and your partner may create up to 2 menus for this quater. Does that mean we can hand them in at the same time?
ReplyDeleteAlso, for the 2 different menus, can they be with different partners or one by yourself and the other with a partner?
ReplyDeleteis it okay if i use second person in description of the food in the TKMB menu?
ReplyDeleteWow...so many questions; I'm going from the bottom, up.
ReplyDeleteAnnette: yes.
Megan: either is fine for both questions
Tracey: No - it can be someone from the other class.
Oh, and I will be changing it so that one menu can be a TKM themed restaurant; the other can be from our other reading material (Odyssey; ATTWN; Mythology; Oedipus)
For the annotating homework, should we do that on looseleaf?
ReplyDeleteI have the same question as Lauren: Can we do the annotating homework on looseleaf or type it?

ReplyDeleteFor the amazon.com reviews I am having trouble understanding how we are supposed to write notes on that..
ReplyDeleteI was led to believe that we should just edit the reviews.
Ally, I think we have to explain whether or not we agree with the reviews and why, and then describe the tone of the writing.
ReplyDeleteYes, Ally...you may comment on the mistakes, but you don't need to edit them. Goodness; that would take FOREVER
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney,
ReplyDeleteI noticed on the agenda that the Vocab Test as well as the Journal are due Friday 2/19.
However, those of us going on the Model UN trip to Boston leave Friday morning. Should we drop the journal off in the morning?
For the homework tonight should we write paticular quotes from the amazon reviews having to do with content, style, and diction or should we just write down or should we just write down the general review number?
ReplyDeleteTracey:

Danielle: you can CODE them. Put an A in the margin next to the first quote and then put "A" under the category it fits. Does this make sense?
I am a little confused about the homework for tonight - I understand style and diction but what would fall under the category of content?
ReplyDeleteShawna:
ReplyDeleteThe "concrete details" the writer uses to back up his point (like Harper Lee is a male) or how the book is shallow...
does this make sense?
Oh okay, now I understand - thank you!
ReplyDeleteIt does make sense now. Thank You Miss Arney!
ReplyDeleteFor the homework, are we supposed to take sentences and put them into the chart or just the entire review?
ReplyDeleteEric: Umm...I'm sorry but I don't understand your question. Please read the above posts b/c people have already asked questions about the assignment. If it still doesn't make sense, please write again
ReplyDeleteOhhhhhhhhhhh I understand it now nevermind
ReplyDeleteOk sounds good thanks!
ReplyDeleteAre we supposed to write about all of the reviews for our homework?
ReplyDeleteLauren, I think that you are supposed to pick 5 for content, 5 for diction and 5 for style. But you don't have to use all of them and I think you can use one for more than one category
ReplyDeleteOk, thanks, Teresa!
ReplyDeleteTeresa: Thank you! You are absolutely correct.
ReplyDeleteFor the Romeo and Juliet recitations, can we memorize three 10 point passages (total of 30 points)? Or can we memorize one 10 point passage and three 5 points? I'm confused...
ReplyDeleteFor the prepositions homework--
ReplyDeleteI am really confused, it says on the agenda sheet it says not to circle possessive prepositions, but in class we did this sentence, "Brian, do you have my ticket to the play?" and we circled "my", so in "Carol, will you help me carry our trunk?" would "our" and "me" be the prepositions that we circle?

ReplyDeleteFor the SAT practice homework, can we just circle it in the book?
ReplyDeleteYes
ReplyDeleteOK, thanks Ms. Arney
ReplyDeleteFor the pronouns homework is there going to be any questions with no answers?
ReplyDeleteYes. Actually, Kevin, there are two.
ReplyDeleteI was so confused!Thank you Miss Arney!!
ReplyDeleteOk thanks
ReplyDeleteErin, I know you posted this a few days ago but i think you could do 3 10 points or 1 10 point and 3 five points but the most u can earn is 25 points even though the 3 10 point recitations add to thirty.
ReplyDeleteIs it alright if I include drinks on the menu?
ReplyDeleteYes, Kevin...absolutely.
ReplyDeletedo we need prices on the menus?
ReplyDeleteNo, Joanna, that is not necessary.
ReplyDeleteWe don't have to read the prolouge of Romeo and Juliet, right. We didn't get it, so should we look it up or something?
ReplyDeleteI don't think so Terence but Miss Arney would know better than I do.
ReplyDeleteOkay. Thanks Julie!!!!!
ReplyDeleteNo; we will begin R&J tomorrow....
ReplyDeletethank you for being conscientious enough to ask the question, though.
I just never expected for us to have 2 snow days; I blame Grace. She jinxed me! :-)
For the TKAM menu, if you are working with a partner do you need 3 appetizers, 5 entrees, and 2 desserts, or 5 appetizers, 8 entrees, and 3 desserts? I wasn't sure when the assignment said add to add it to the original or not.
ReplyDelete3 appetizers, 5 entrees, and 2 desserts; the wording is confusing - my apologies, Danielle
ReplyDeleteIt's okay Thank you Miss Arney!
ReplyDeleteFor the grammar homework that is due tomorrow can we please go over it in class. I tried numbers 1-10 and didn't understand them.
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney, since I left my vocabulary sheets at school, is there a link for the list on your website?
ReplyDeleteIn the grammar HW tonight, should we put "to Gale" in the prep. phrase column and "Gale" again in the IO column for the sentence, "Rico gave his paper to Gale."
ReplyDeleteJoanna, an indirect object mus always come before a direct object (paper) so in that example "to Gale" is a prepositional phrase and "Gale" is not an indirect object.
ReplyDeleteNanxi, there is a list for a list of vocab if you scroll down the the English 9 honors front page and here is the link: http://www.prhs.k12.ny.us/fac/arneyd/English%209Honors/English%209%20Honors%20master%20list%20with%20definitions.doc

Amanda, if I am thinking of the same grammar homework you are thinking of, Miss Arney told us to disregard the directions and just fill in directly on the sheet the correct objective form.
ReplyDeleteSorry Miss Arney I didn't realize you posted a response already!
ReplyDeleteTY, Danielle!
ReplyDeleteSo there isn't any grammar homework tonight right?
ReplyDeleteRight!
ReplyDeleteFor the grammar homework tonight, I am confused what to use for some of the antecedents. If the sentence is 10. Every woman did (her, their) best to make the program a success. would the antecedent be every, woman, or every woman because every is also singular so I am not sure what to use for the antecedent.
ReplyDeleteI think its every woman, but I'm not sure.
ReplyDeleteThank you Terence!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteDanielle,
ReplyDeleteI think that "woman" is the antecedent because in this case, "every" functions as an adjective modifying "woman".
Thank you Jeremy! I see what your saying how it tells the amount or number of "woman" so I guess "every" could be an adjective.
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney, this is kind of random but are we going to have any major assignments like journal due after next weekend? I am going away to Albany for Youth and Government, and I just want to know in advance
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney, is there any limit on how much information we need for the Percy Jackson and the Olympians?
ReplyDeleteMegan, I don't think there is a limit but I think the more information you have the more credit you will get.
ReplyDeleteFor the grammar challenge this week is number one supposed to say planed or planted?
ReplyDeleteDanielle,
ReplyDeleteI think you are right. Also, I think it is supposed to say "Tim", not "Time".
OK...I will need to check it tomorrow night; I can't get into my computer room tonight...
ReplyDeleteThanks Danielle. I know I posted a while ago, but I haven't had the chance to check the blog for a really long time. Thank you so much for clearing that up for me.
ReplyDeleteFor Part 2 of the grammar homework tonight, should we indicate the pronoun and its function in the sentence (e.g. subject, predicate nominative, direct object, indirect object, object of preposition) or follow the directions listed on the sheet?
ReplyDeleteAlso, number 19 on Part 1 reads:
"(They, Them) is solely responsible for making the institution's rules and regulations."
"They/Them is"?!
Jeremy: for number 19, there was a note up on the white board (that probably got overlooked b/c of the ...um....excitement(?) in class today. Change the "is" to "are"
ReplyDeleteAnd I guess for part 2, just follow the directions I typed for it. I typed the assignment up a few weeks ago; I guess I forgot that I had veered away from the directions in the first part. Sorry for the confusion.
Miss, Arney for the quiz tomorrow, do we need to know what happened in the stories or the people in the stories. Because on the sheet you gave us it was just the people.
ReplyDeleteFEEL BETTER, MISS ARNEY!!!
ReplyDeleteAww Jeremy! I was gonna say that. Whatever. Feel Better Miss Arney!
ReplyDeleteFor the grammar Dr. Seuss sheet,
ReplyDeleteI am confused on how to diagram 'that' and 'them or there'...
I said that was a direct object. And them or there are adverbs, so I put them under the verb?
Thanks guys!
Tracey, I think 'them' is a pronoun so for a sentence like number 5 them would be a direct object. 'There' is also a pronoun because it is substituting for a place so for a sentence such as 7 I think it would also be a direct object. "That" can either be a pronoun or adejective. For number 3 that is a pronoun but if Sam-I-am had been in thesentence I think itwould have been a adjective. Sorry this is so long but I hope this helps and is correct!
ReplyDeleteOk thanks I think i get it!
ReplyDeleteDanielle: You rock! I just got home from LIU so I'm so glad you got to Tracey's question.
ReplyDeleteRemember that the there and here are ADVERBS.
Everyone: review your notes! the big test is coming! (Then I can be an "it"!)
For the Grammer worksheet, in the question sentences where would the question words like would or do be placed in the diagram?
ReplyDeleteKelly, "would" and "do" are helping verbs, so they are part of the verb phrase.
ReplyDeleteSentence 7 says, "Would you like them there or there?" Is this a typo, and if it is, should it say "here or there" or "there or here"?
ReplyDeleteJeremy, if you look up Green Eggs and it is "here or there" but since it is a typo I think it would be okay whether you put "there or there" or "here or there".
ReplyDeleteFor number two on the Green Eggs and Ham sheet, what would Sam be because I is the subject and am is the verb so is Sam a direct object or an adjective describing I?
ReplyDeleteFor tonights grammar assignment i am confused about the prepositional phrases.
ReplyDeleteFor example in sentence 13 it says "I do not like them with a mouse" so for the diagram would you put "with a mouse" under the verb (would eat) or under the direct object (them) ???
Danielle, I believe Sam is a direct object.
ReplyDeleteTara, I believe it goes under the verb.
Wait, no, Danielle, I think that Sam is the predicate nominative because it is saying that I am Sam.
ReplyDeleteSorry I didn't mean direct object sorry to mix it up Tracey. Thank you Tracey and Terence!
ReplyDeletehey guys, for tonights grammer assignment it became very clear that there and here are adverbs which I now understand their placemnt underneath a verb when diagraming yet, they are connected by or which in many of our other diagrams we would make a rocket ship and i have looked into the yellow packet as reference for adverbs like here and there, yet none of the examples of information supports a statment using "here or there" in the same question. So my question is how to diagram "here or there" underneath the verb.
ReplyDeleteI'll try to see if I can explain this. You have to diagram "here" and "there" as if they were separate adverbs under the verb and then connect them with a dotted line and write "or" on the line.

Jeremy: that is a great diagram and a great site.
ReplyDeleteBilly: remember, there won't be an example in the chapter 19 packet with "here and there" but double adverbs should be there...no?
I don't think there are any double adverbs in the packet.
ReplyDeleteThank you for the comment before Miss Arney I didn't know what you were talking about when you told me after school today that's why i was confused!
ReplyDeleteGuys: I'm SO sorry; I really thought it showed how to do the compound modifiers in the packet.
ReplyDeleteDanielle: ;-)
what scenes do we have to read over the weekend? 3 and 4?
ReplyDeleteYes, 3 & 4. There will NOT be a quiz; we will review them, but I need you guys to read and process them as best you can this weekend.
ReplyDeleteOk great thanks!
ReplyDeleteFor the grammar HW this weekend, do we need to do all of that labeling and noting what part of speech it is or are we just filling in the correct pronouns?
ReplyDeleteYou just have to fill in the correct pronouns.
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney will there be a grammar challenge posted this week?
ReplyDeleteAmanda, Miss Arney said we are not having one this week but we might have one over spring break or the week we get back.
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney,
ReplyDeleteI was reading through the Act I notes, and I am confused with the one regarding Benvolio. You said that Benvolio has a prophecy of his death, and that this death will occur soon afterwards.
I am unable to connect this with an event in the scene? When did this happen?
Thanks, Tracey Ryan
I didn't see anything relating to a prophecy about Benvolio's death either. Is this a mistake, or are Tracey and I both missing something?
ReplyDeleteI don't think Benvolio dies in Romeo and Juliet so maybe the question meant how did Benvolio prophesize Romeo's death or how did Romeo prophesize his own death? Maybe it was a typo but I am confused too.
ReplyDeleteFor Princeton Persuit, are we able to use allusions from Romeo and Juliet, or only from mythology?
ReplyDeleteKilleen, I think we are allowed to have allusions from anything we have done this year.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I was just wondering the day we get back to school, will there be extra help?
thanks lauren!
ReplyDeleteand im not sure about extra help but i know Miss Arney said that she will be posting practice grammar quizzes online so those should help alot for the test
The online quizzes are posted at the class website; an update of the specific sections of the test will be up within the next 24 hours.
ReplyDeleteMiss Arney, I was looking at some of the grammar review sites, and I saw some things on them that we did not go over, like "count nouns" and "mass nouns". Please tell me that these will not be on the test.
ReplyDeleteNo, of course not. Some of the test questions have been lifted directly from old exercises/ homework activities. There will be nothing "new" on the test.
ReplyDeleteJust tryed to check the class website and it said "page could not be found", I don't think it is just my computer so I am just putting it out there.
ReplyDeleteThe same thing happened to me too Kelly, but I got the link from someone.
ReplyDeleteKelly, here is the link. I gave it to Lauren and it worked directly so maybe the hyperlink on the other page isn't working.

For the question sentences what part of speech would words like how or when be considered?
ReplyDeleteQuestions that answer when, where, and how (setting questions) are all modifiers. I'm making this a multiple choice:
ReplyDeletea) adjective
b) adverb
Check your notes and be prepared to answer that tomorrow, Kelly ;-) I know that I'm being a little evil
Miss Arney,
ReplyDeleteon one of the homeworks when filling in pronouns, one of the sentences was supposed to end in you and your friend. I put you first, and your friend last, because I thought you always goes first. But it was marked wrong. Is this a mistake or am I doing something wrong? Thanks
Also, if there is 'us' you' and 'me', what would the order be?
Thread closed.
ReplyDeleteI was wondering if it is okay that we hand in the word masters cards tomorrow or after wednesday because we have not been able to?
ReplyDeleteAnd feel better Miss Arney!
Thursday is fine if you aren't coming back to take the WM test...
ReplyDeleteand thank you!
Miss Arney,
ReplyDeleteSomeone said that the journal is now due on Friday. Is that true?
Marissa,
ReplyDeleteYes, that was written on the other blog for Quarter 4, I believe this one is closed.
