Homework Due 4/20

Great class today, you guys! We're coming into the home stretch, so keep up the great work.

Remember: no class next Saturday, 4/13. This homework is due Saturday, 4/20.

1. Study the fifth (and final!) vocabulary unit and write your last essay (story, poem, etc). Details and the list of words can be found here.  
2. You have three more units in the Writing workbook. Parallel Structure p. 42 (#11-20), Run-Ons p. 54 (#1-10), Missing Subject p. 78 (#1-10).
3. Complete each section in the May 2011 test packet beginning to end. Time yourself (time listed at the top of each section) and write your answers on a separate sheet of paper. Write an essay from the prompt on page 3. (I will be e-mailing you comments on the essay you turned in this week in the next day or two to help you keep making progress.) If you can find time to do this practice test all in one sitting, that would be ideal, though you can break it up if you need to. 
4. Also, use this time to catch up on any homework and assignments you may have fallen behind on. If you have questions, come to tutoring this week and/or next to get help. 

The full test assignment is super important. I will be scoring this practice test and that score will be very useful information for you to have as you approach your real test date. 

The late registration deadline for the May test is April 19th. You must register before the 19th if you want to take the May test. Don't delay!

Homework Due 4/07

Hi, class! Sorry for the delay in getting this posted. 

1. Register for the May SAT, following the instructions posted here. The deadline is this Friday, April 5th. 
2. Study the fourth vocabulary unit and write another vocabulary essay (or story or poem or etc.). More details and a link to the document with the list of words is here if you need it. 
3. In the Math Workbook, complete #4, 5, 8, 9, 15, 20, 23, and 26 in the Counting section, beginning on p. 103. 
4. You have three more sections in the Writing Workbook. Subject/Verb Split (p. 10 #1-10), Subject/Verb Reversal (p. 14 #1-10), and Verb Tense (p. 68 #1-10). Feel free to refer back to your notes and the grammar packet. 
5. Complete sections 5, 6, 8 & 9 in the October 2010 test packet. This is one writing section, two math sections, and one reading section. Time yourself (the first two are 25 minutes, the second two are 20 minutes), and write your answers on a separate sheet of paper. In the math, focus on getting as many correct as possible, not necessarily finishing out the section. 
6. Write an essay from the prompt on page 4 in the October 2010 test packet. Time yourself (25 minutes) and try to adjust your strategy based on the comments I gave you on your first essay. 

As always, let me know if you have questions or concerns. If you have problems getting registered for the test, we can meet before tutoring on Tuesday, but please let me know ASAP if you'll need to do that. 

Homework Due 3/30

3. In the Math Workbook, complete #1-20 in the Draw/Formula section. Feel free to consult your notes from today and the table of geometry formulas found at the beginning of any math section in the October 2010 test. 
4. Complete sections 2 and 7 in the October 2010 test packet. This is one reading section and one math section. Time yourself (25 minutes each), and write your answers on a separate sheet of paper. In the math, focus on getting as many correct as possible, not necessarily finishing out the section. 
5. You have three sections to complete in the Writing Workbook. Noun Agreement (p. 32 #1-11), Pronoun Reference (p. 18 #1-16), and Improper Comparison (p. 88 #1-19). Here, too, feel free to refer back to your notes and the grammar packet. 

As always, let me know if you have questions or concerns. If you have problems getting registered for the test, we can meet before class next week to get things straightened out.
