I thought that it would be useful to create a blog to communicate about the homework. If you miss class, you know where to go to find the homework. (You should also check with a classmate to get notes and find out details about what you missed. )
Here's the homework from Shalle's class last Friday:
- The second draft of your artist autobiography is due on WED, September 30 by 5pm. Please email a document (doc or docx) to me at sleeming@academyart.edu . Assignment is on p. 129 of the course book. Remember to develop your ideas with enough relevant details, examples and explanation for the reader to understand. Also, make sure that your paragraphs have only one main idea that is stated in a topic sentence.
- Read the introduction to Kohl's The Values Americans Live By. I gave this handout in class. There will be a true/false quiz on the main points in the reading on Friday. NEW VOCABULARY TIP: don't look up every new word, but also don't guess the meaning of every unfamiliar word, expecially if you aren't understanding something. Use the strategies we talked about in class to choose which words to look up. Be prepared to share the new vocabulary words that you looked up in a dictionary and why you chose to look up those words.
- Quiz on irregular past tense/past participles - lists # 1, 2, 17 &18.
