SUBJECT TO CHANGE! Please bear with us as dates may change due to the social distancing.

*All Grammar Review questions will be compiled into a Quiz grade. Please make sure you do them.*

I have attached copies of the Grammar book pages needed at the bottom of the page if you do not have your grammar book. Simply scroll through them.

Week 1:

Wednesday, March 18th, 9:52 am, Live Classroom: We will go over assignments, how the grammar lessons will be working, and research topics. Let Ms. Leeke know which one via the Google question on Google Classroom.
--Assignment: Read Grammar pgs. 294-298 and do practice 3.17 in your book (PDF has been updated). Upload a picture to the Google Classroom portal.
Due Thursday at 9:55 am.

Due Friday at 9:55 am.

Friday, March 20th: NO LIVE CLASS. Turn in the First Impressions doc via Google Classroom. Be sure to make a copy so you can continue any note taking on the original document.
Due: First Impressions doc via Google Classroom by Friday at 3 pm.

Over the next week, begin to research your topic. You will need to have read at least six independent sources on your topic by Friday, March 27th. For each source you read, you will need to create a citation. In a separate Google doc, keep a list of these citations. Eventually, you will need more than six. You do not have to use every single source in your paper, but you need to keep a running list of every source you did read just in case.

**In the end, you will have two documents:
1. The First Impressions/Personal Opinion and Thoughts Document. This will be turned in on Friday, March 20th.
2. Citations Document. This will be a compilation of your citations. For each source, type the title, the link, and the citation. Do this for every source you read, whether you use it or not in your paper. Share this with me on Thursday, March 26th.

Week 2:

Question will launch at 9:52 am and will close at 10:22 am.
