On the 2nd paper in the grammar packet, at the bottom, is a lesson on the colon –read the 2 rules and examples, and circle/highlight where the colons are in all the examples. Some sentences do not require a colon. The rules explain why. I emailed you the lesson also.

green-eyed monster. (Yes, it’s also a metaphor). The hyphen is the little line between green and eyed.

Important Letter:
Thursday, March 19:
EOCs
There’s an expression, “Every cloud has a silver lining.” This means that even in bad situations, like we are in now, there is also something good. Do you know that EOCs are cancelled for this year? Do you realize how awesome that is for ESOL students? If you are not passing a class, you should be doing what is necessary to pass this semester! If you fail, then there will be EOCs in the future. In addition to American Lit, if you are taking geometry, physics, or economics, then this is extra good news for you!
If you achieve an A, you don’t have to worry about your grade dropping from EOCs! If you have a B, work to get an A. If you have a C, work to get a B—or an A.
FYI: 90-100 = A; 80-89 = B; 74-79 = C; 70-73 = D; below 70 = failure
Everyone should be working to complete the daily requirements of each class. If you are behind, work to get caught up.
If you are working long hours to make money, you should also do your school work to pass this semester. You will regret it if you didn’t try to pass.
If you need help with a class, ASK the teacher.
Grades for ESOL Am Lit
Just so you understand, I have upgraded synergy for all the work required up to Friday – including the better grade you received on the punctuation quiz (commas & semi-colons & type of sentences).
I did not enter grades for the poem quizzes yet. You can complete those until Friday, March 20 midnight. Again, if you can’t access google classroom or commonlit.org, tell me and I will send you attachments/photos of the quizzes.
While we are home schooling, I am writing grades for your novel chapter questions on paper. The book and all the questions need to be completed by April 15, so you have time to catch up, but don’t get too behind.
The second assignment for the novel (on the pink paper) titled “Dialectical Journal” is due April 17. Read over that assignment, both sides of the paper. You can begin working on it now OR as you read, just note page numbers and sentences that you can use for the assignment, and you can do it later. Answers can be typed or written.
Next week, we will do some grammar as well as read the novel. When you are doing the grammar, pay attention! You have to learn it. Read the rules and the examples and then do the practice. Since I don’t know when we will return to school, I am not sure if I will email you practice quizzes, but we will take quizzes when we return, so don't forget what you learn and keep the grammar papers in your binder.
And finally, some time in the future, we will study & write about the immigration poems I gave you, but that will be after the grammar packet.
Take care of yourself and your family –get good rest, drink a lot of water, practice social distancing, and wash your hands with lots of soap (sanitizer when you don’t have soap) after you touch things that could have a virus on them and before you touch your face.
If you need help with food or anything else, ask a teacher or Ms. Romero: Rocio.romero@campbellhigh.net.
Respectfully,
Ms. Pearson

Writing a persuasive essay outline (thesis = claim and topic sentences (mini-claims), and writing evidence (=examples, specific supporting details).
What are you doing to learn?
1. Commit to your topic - or change topics now. If your claim is too big to prove in 2 pages and 2 days, then choose a topic you know more about from personal experience. For example, people should tell the truth, stop procrastinating, be less lazy, be grateful, watch the news, get more sleep, eat less junk food, quit using bad language, pay attention in class, limit phone use. People who can should vote, and those who can't should ensure that those who can, do.
2. Finish your outline.
3. Read the grading criteria paper & use it as a check list.
3. Decide what kind of evidence will work for each paragraph.
story (anecdote), description/imagery, specific examples, statistic, citing an expert, quotation, rhetorical questions
4. Write each paragraphs. The purpose of a paragraph is to prove the topic sentence (the first sentence of the paragraph!)
5. DO NOT PLAGIARIZE. If you copy any phrase or sentence(s) from the internet, use quotation marks and cite the source in parentheses. If you use a statistic, also cite the source.
Each paragraph can simply be 4 or 5 sentences (longer is fine, if you're writing about a big & serious topic).
Write Intro, Conclusion, and Title AFTER you complete the "body" of the essay.
