For the grammar hw on subject and predicate are we supposed to do simple or complex? (on the hw sheet is says simple, in the packet it says to do complex)???
NOTE: we won't be doing Word Masters until after Thanksgiving weekend...so you don't have to have the definitions until next week. Thanks for asking, Tommy!
Melissa: I think the other works are listed in the introductory materials (and the back-to-school nite stuff) Yena: You can do as much or as little in the study guide as you like; you should be able to answer all of the 'least you should know" in your head. Justin: Monday
During extra-help, you were thinking about changing the date of the test; and I was wondering if it was going to be changed? Also when is the vocab test if TKAM is on Tuuesday?
MISS ARNEY!!! that song we listened to in class... i felt like crying... i couldn't even get myself to look at the picture twice... THAT WAS SOOOOOOOOO SADDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Miss Arney...I would just like to let you know that....I HATED THAT SONG!! IT MADE ME SICK TO MY STOMACH AND IT HAD TO BE ONE OF THE SADDEST THINGS I EVER HEARD! It was so hard to not start sobbing! Only a tear or two came out thank-goodness or I would have never of heard the end of it from Alec!
For the journal, it should be paraphrased information...I am looking for some creativity but you should also stay true to the text. That means, the death should be ruled "he fell on his knife"...although you might have some fun as to what he was doing when it happened :-) Quotes are not required! ...Oh, and you can just give up and trash him midway through if you just cannot take it anymore!
If we are in school tomorrow, there will be NO grammar test( I'm pushing it back to after the holiday break.) but the TKM test will be on MONDAY.
If there is no school tomorrow, the TKM test will be on TUESDAY.
If, by some bizarre aberration of nature, we are not in school on Monday, I will have to plan-B the TKM test somehow (maybe a modified open-book or study guide test on Tuesday).
PLEASE wear your PJs properly tonite - no inside/out thing, ok?
OMG! Thank you so much, Katie & Nicole. The questions are now up; I completely forgot to hyperlink the questions to the webpage! You can access the guiding questions from the English 9H homepage (above the photos) or on the agenda page, next to the story title. Thank you again, ladies, for being so diligent :-)
Katie, no its not, they are just guiding questions and if you can answer them you'll do well on the quizzes. (I only know that because i saw it somewhere else on the blog)
No, Yena; it's a little more complicated. It is recorded under the verb on a line just like the object of a preposition -- just there is no preposition on the diagonal line. If you want to see what it looks like, look in that yellow grammar packet (chapter 19).
Just so you know my sister, jenn nardella, and sarah hastings are sitting here and almost just had a heart attack when they saw cast list but then the saw, "its not sunday yet, check back then" and they wanted to hurt you.
For Journal #2, can we write it as a letter? Like: Dear....., .................................................................................................................. ............................................................................ ............................................................................................
Sincerely, Mr. Loisel Or is it a 5 paragraph piece?

On the novel notes for the Odyssey are we supposed to include the trojan war?
Only what appears in the reading. You will be adding to those notes this summer when you read the poem in its entirety.
For the grammar hw on subject and predicate are we supposed to do simple or complex? (on the hw sheet is says simple, in the packet it says to do complex)???
I just want the basic subject and verb (although the verb may have a helping and main verb).
Do we have to have the definitions for word masters by tomorrow or next week?
NOTE: we won't be doing Word Masters until after Thanksgiving weekend...so you don't have to have the definitions until next week. Thanks for asking, Tommy!
Thanks
thanks
what other novels and plays will we be reading this year?
Miss Arney: in the study packet To Kill A Mockingbird, there are no assigned assignments right? we can just do as much as we want.
Is the quiz homework due tomorrow?
Melissa: I think the other works are listed in the introductory materials (and the back-to-school nite stuff)
Yena: You can do as much or as little in the study guide as you like; you should be able to answer all of the 'least you should know" in your head.
Justin: Monday
The novel notes for "The Odyssey" are not due on monday right?
When do we have to have the prepositions memorized by?
For the grammar review worksheet that's due tomorrow, are we doing the complete subject and verb?
Novel notes are due on 12/1
Preposition list can be recited any day this quarter (but better sooner than later so you know them well!)
Grammar page: Identify the subject and verb (main verb + any helping verbs). Just what would go on the diagrammed main line.
i think i was out of the room at the time......whats with the reciting of the prepositions or something?
You can memorize that... "little" list of prepositions for extra credit (+10 on your grammar exam).
ooo ok thanks
For the novel notes, what do you mean by style?
During extra-help, you were thinking about changing the date of the test; and I was wondering if it was going to be changed? Also when is the vocab test if TKAM is on Tuuesday?
about the homework; what is the grammer page and whats considered part 2 of tkm?
B/C the test date was moved, there was no grammar page. Part two is after ch 12 (the rest of the book)
Miss Arney,
On the novel notes for the Odyssey I am confused with the allusions. What allusions should I include in the novel notes?
Since you said to review part two of TKM does that mean we should read all of part two by Monday?
thanks Ms Arney
Miss Arney,
For the essay can we use parts of quotes or sayings from the chapter as in our newly created title?
Nicole: Yes; just don't do it for every single one.
For the essay do you have to name the chapters in order that they appear?
Ok, thanks Miss Arney
When is the next grammar clinic?
Is it okay if we don't follow the exact 8 sentence structure for the essay (is it okay to add a couple transition sentences here and there?).
Yes...you may vary. The structure is there to remind you not to neglect the CDs or the analysis (CMs)
For the essay,
should we put the title we choose in quotations or just say what title we chose?
For grammar say a sentence said, "The girl would soon be going to class." where in the diagram would you put the "would soon"?
Chapter titles, even your own, would go in quotation marks.
Melissa: would is a helping verb; soon is an adverb (down in the hellfires!)
haha...Ok...thank-you. And when will grammar gang be starting? Also when is the Do You Know Boo? contest?
Why does the Self Editing check list say to have 11 sentences in the body paragraph? can You only have eight?
Kathleen: You may not remember, but I recognized my error in class. It should be 8 sentences (2 CD model)
When we want to address a certain event in the story involving one of the characters do we have to give a whole introduction of that character?
Not a whole introduction; just a brief phrase to introduce the character
ok thanks
When is the "DO YOU THINK YOU KNOW BOO?" contest?
Miss Arney...
For the essay do we have to include a bibliography for To Kill a Mockingbird?
MISS ARNEY!!!
that song we listened to in class... i felt like crying... i couldn't even get myself to look at the picture twice... THAT WAS SOOOOOOOOO SADDD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Miss Arney...I would just like to let you know that....I HATED THAT SONG!! IT MADE ME SICK TO MY STOMACH AND IT HAD TO BE ONE OF THE SADDEST THINGS I EVER HEARD!
It was so hard to not start sobbing! Only a tear or two came out thank-goodness or I would have never of heard the end of it from Alec!
im slightly confused, what are we suposed to do for this weeks grammar challenge?
By direct references to the book for the journal, you just mean to paraphrase a part, not a quote, right?
Oh...and also are we allowed to make up how he died/was killed or are we only allowed to say he died?
The grammar challenge is diagramming
For the journal, it should be paraphrased information...I am looking for some creativity but you should also stay true to the text. That means, the death should be ruled "he fell on his knife"...although you might have some fun as to what he was doing when it happened :-)
Quotes are not required!
...Oh, and you can just give up and trash him midway through if you just cannot take it anymore!
ok thanks
If there is a snowday tomorrow, is the test still on Monday?
OK...here is the "Storm" Schedule:
If we are in school tomorrow, there will be NO grammar test( I'm pushing it back to after the holiday break.) but the TKM test will be on MONDAY.
If there is no school tomorrow, the TKM test will be on TUESDAY.
If, by some bizarre aberration of nature, we are not in school on Monday, I will have to plan-B the TKM test somehow (maybe a modified open-book or study guide test on Tuesday).
PLEASE wear your PJs properly tonite - no inside/out thing, ok?
haha Miss Arney, Im not so sure i can bring myself NOT to wear my pj's inside out.
Miss Arney
Can we hand in last week's grammar challenge tomorrow because of the snow day?
Absolutely...and I'll be posting a new challenge on Tuesday or Wednesday for the vacation.
what is the stuff we have to do over break
When are the grammar and vocab tests? Non are the day we come back from break... right?
where is the link for the questions we have to answer about the two stories?
I have the same question as Katie... where is the link for the questions that guide our reading?
OMG! Thank you so much, Katie & Nicole. The questions are now up; I completely forgot to hyperlink the questions to the webpage!
You can access the guiding questions from the English 9H homepage (above the photos) or on the agenda page, next to the story title.
Thank you again, ladies, for being so diligent :-)
Oh nevermind, I found them, Nicole: they are on the home page for our class at the top.
Is it mandatory to do the questions for the short stories?
Katie, no its not, they are just guiding questions and if you can answer them you'll do well on the quizzes. (I only know that because i saw it somewhere else on the blog)
Miss Arney,
One more question, for the journal, can we use some of the tiles we used in the essay exam?
Nicole: yes, you may :-)
Thanks! Sorry one more... I forget what you said before break. Can we bullet?
Don't bullet: put the chapter title in the margin, list the title; then your sentences to explain the titles.
Okay, thanks Nicole.
Okay, Thanks Miss Arney!
on the agenda sheet it doesnt say the grammar homework for tonight and tomorrow..so can u possibly put it on the blog or web-site please?
When is the grammar test?
Monday.
Miss Arney,
The agenda says grammar exercise.... There was none right?
yeh I have the same question as Nicole...is there any grammar for tonight?
There was no homewirk for tonight except to study... right?
For the extra credit assignment does the drawing have to be a doll or can it also include games?
Kieran:
I'm intrigued with your idea. Go for it.
When are the vocab and grammar tests changed to? (sorry, I forgot to write them down).
Vocab Tuesday; grammar, Thursday.
Congrats on winning the contest, Maria!
Miss arney
we didn't learn this yet, but how do you diagram an indirect object? is it placed before the direct object?
No, Yena; it's a little more complicated. It is recorded under the verb on a line just like the object of a preposition -- just there is no preposition on the diagonal line. If you want to see what it looks like, look in that yellow grammar packet (chapter 19).
ok thanks
Is a grammar challenge going to be put up for this week?
I'm so sorry....I'll do it right now!
What are the subjects we need to know or the midterm?
I have two questions about the shield. Can we use pencil to draw and are we allowed to use botht drawing and computer pictures.
Katie: Yes and yes. Just color in what you pencil so that it is easier to see.
...btw, great question on the midterm thread!
Thank You!
For the shield, we have to have all the pictures drawn by Tuesday right?
The Scarlet Ibis novel notes are due Wednesday right?
Are all the extra credit drawings due Friday?
Just so you know my sister, jenn nardella, and sarah hastings are sitting here and almost just had a heart attack when they saw cast list but then the saw, "its not sunday yet, check back then" and they wanted to hurt you.
LOL! Serves them right for peeking :-)
I'm about to post it right now.
they thank you for posting this list at an insane hour of the morning that only crazy people would be up at.
Please extend my appreciation for recognizing the fact that only insane teachers would be doing this at insane hours of the morning :-)
i will... thanks again
For Journal #2, can we write it as a letter? Like:
Dear.....,
..................................................................................................................
............................................................................
............................................................................................
Sincerely,
Mr. Loisel
Or is it a 5 paragraph piece?
It's an actual letter. Have fun!
