01.09 - Quizzes and Revisions

At the beginning of class today, everyone took the unit two roots and prefixes test. Following this, everyone had the opportunity to revise their responses to questions four and five on the section 10 quiz for The Road and to complete or revise their 2nd motif paragraph as necessary.

When people were finished with this, we took a look at elements of speech in the casual speech register that should not be used when communicating in the formal register. Together in class we looked at section B (colloquialisms) and discussed some of these. For homework, people should complete sections B, C, D and E. We will review and discuss these in class on Monday and look at the rest of the packet as part of our work for class next week.

Handouts:

Homework:

Complete sections B (colloquialisms), C (filler words), D (contractions), and E (abbreviations) of the formal diction packet.

Revise or complete your 2nd motif paragraphs for The Road as necessary.
