Basic English 4
Assignments for week of May 11, 2020: Class of 2020, you have no more assignments for this class! Congratulations! I will miss you. I regret that we did not get to finish our last few weeks the way we expected. No more corny jokes, some students rolling their eyes, no ceiling tile to paint, Abby correcting Tyler, etc. I am very happy that you will have a graduation ceremony at the Texas Motor Speedway. If you'd like, you are welcome to send me pictures of your celebrations through the school email at manderson@ldisd.net. Take care.
For the week of May 4, 2020: Complete all squares of the Vocabulary Analogies. Read Birds of a Feather and answer the questions. You will do the same for Life in Yakutia. These hyperlinks will eliminate any problems like we had last week!
Assignments for week of April 27, 2020: Complete both pages of Solving Analogies: Related Pairs 1-6; read the nonfiction passage Understanding Bullying and answer the questions in complete sentences. Read the fiction passage With the Guys and answer the questions in complete sentences. You will use both passages to answer some of these questions. Again, it may be easier to record your responses on a blank Google doc and submit rather than trying to manipulate the images.
