  1. Quotes to use in essays Just because it's in print doesn't mean it's the gospel. Michael Jackson Reflection I think this means… This reminds me of… Warm-Up

  2. I will be tutoring for the English II EOC on Tuesdays and Thursdays starting this Thursday 2/13 • We will be reading some short stories and “learning” how to create a literature blog entry • For those of you who need help on this-come Thursday! Tutoring

  6. Glue the “reciprocal pronouns” definition in your Notes/Toolbox (last section) of your spiral • With your 9 o’clock partner • Write the model sentence in your notes (after the ones you just glued in) • Circle the reciprocal pronoun(s) in the sentence • Choose a way to revise the sentence.  Don’t change the entire sentence because it's already a great sentence.  Try to add to it.   (Like, change a pronoun to a noun so we know who or what the sentence is about, or add an adjective or adverb.  Or, if it's a compound sentence, make it two sentences. Write your revised version on the folder) • Create an imitation sentence. Format it just like the model sentence. Write it on the sentence strip. Grammar Practice
