9. Quizzes 1 and 2
10. Reading Diagnostic (today)
11. College Essay*******100 pts!
12. Class participation (running-total)
Second, log-in to the quiz page and take your Reading Diagnostic Test (you can write the answers down on a scrap and then input them at the end if you like) but DO NOT WRITE ON THE TEST ITSELF.
Third, when you are done, I'm going to give you a copy of an excerpt of Ch. 8 "Trapped": Please read it and annotate it for class on Thursday--THIS IS A HOMEWORK ASSIGNMENT WHICH YOU WILL BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR--IT ISN'T AN OPTION
A successful annotation will have the following: (look at the ch. 3 one I did for help)
1. Circle unknown vocabulary--look it up!
2. use the annotating bookmark, but focus on the basics:
! for something important
? for question/confusion
* something very interesting to you
3. bracket off paragraphs and write notes about the reading/observations you are making
