Tuesday, 9/29: Vocabulary, FROs, Outsiders, Blogs

I will be checking: a) vocabulary definitions and b) p28 of the FRO sheet.

Blogs are off to a good start. Remember:

  • Title each post appropriately.
  • Capitalize your title.
  • Mention the book in the post. Underline the book title. (Or use italics.)
  • It’s still KBARR responding: watch out for summaries!
  • Pics are cool, but give credit where you get them.
  • Go read and comment (intelligently–not just “good job”) on at least 5 other blogs. If you can list the blog titles you commented on, you will receive extra credit on Friday.

“Warm Up 9/29/15.” All answers will be vocabulary words. You will use words more than once.
