Friday/Monday, October 3/6, 2014

Announcements and Reminders:
Book Orders Due by October 3 -- today.

When you receive your graded book project, if you need to redo it, or wish to for more points, attach your new copy to the graded one. 

When I point out spelling words you should learn, copy them into your composition book on the page for editing tips for you (page 39+). 

To prepare for the available retake on Text Structure, see the teacher for a practice packet.  Identify the text structures of the paragraphs, and afterward we'll talk about them.

Sign up for your Contemporary Realistic Fiction Book by October 1 (A-Day), October 2 (B-Day) -- last time!
