Tuesday, 10/2: Apostrophes, Vocab, Outsiders

The Levitating Comma! The Apostrophe!

Question: What are the three uses for apostrophes? Examples?

1. Possessive form: Book of Joe = Joe’s book.
2. Contractions: is + not = isn’t  (Takes the place of a letter.)
3. Pluralize letters and words used as words.  All A’s on my report card.

“Apostrophes, 10/2.” Copy only the bold-faced, underlined part. Write the correct form of the word for each blank. You might have to pluralize and/or possessify. YOU get ONE S.

1. The  _____ car is equipped with laser cannons. (spy)
2. _____ going to the store for llama cheese. (they)
3. _____ going with them?  (who)
4. All the ____ clothing is on the second floor. (woman)
5. We have three _____ in the class. (Jesus)
6.  “_____ all go to the lobby!”  (Let)

“Vocab, 10/2.” ALL PICTURES!  #12 is a SAW.

 The Outsiders.  For the rest of the period:

• Continue reading ch 10.
• Faster Readers: Keep your mouths shut.
• If you finish chapter 10: Go see Mr. Coward for the Chapter 10 big question. Return to your desk and thoughtfully answer the question in your notebook under the title: “Why?”
• Then  get a ch10 Quiz from the stack (white) and write the ANSWERS (not the letters) in your notebook. Do not write on the question sheet!
• If all of the above is finished:
  • Get an SE HInton Profile from the stack (yellow).
  • Read it and answer the questions at the end on a separate sheet of paper. (“SE Hinton Profile.”)
  • Put the sheet in the basket when you are finished.
• Work on your SMYK’s.
