February 1,2006: New Month, New Semester
What we've done on the first two days of the new semester:

Monday--went over Unit 9 vocabulary, took a diagnostic grammar quiz (parts of speech; subjects and predicates), started filling out an error worksheet connecting the "20 Most Common Errors" with relevant sections in the Language Handbook part of your Elements text.
Homework Monday night: finish the sheet, including looking up the 20 errors online and checking exactly what each one means.

Tuesday--Overview of next few weeks leading up to the WASL dates for Writing and Reading: March 13-16. Received copies of _All Quiet on the Western Front_, and had about 30 minutes of reading time. (BTW, this blog format apparently lacks underlining. I will use a standard electronic alternative for texts which should actually be underlined. Please don't adopt this in your own written work!)
Homework: study for vocab unit 9 quiz
