English 1

I am still in the process of collecting a few missing syllabus and "Folder of me". Please check pinnacle if either assignment has a 'Z' it means you have not turned it in.

A diagnostic part of speech test was administered and the grades will be entered into pinnacle, but with a zero weight. This means they will have no effect on the overall grade.

We discussed prefixes (Anti, Bi, Bene, Circum, Contra) and their definitions today. We also wrote sentences using words that began with the prefix.

HW:
1) Vocabulary List #1 - brevity, digress, insolent, mundane, retort, arrogant, confounding, squander, thrifty, predator. List the word, definition, write a sentence using the word, please give me 1 antonym and 1 synonym.
2) Bring in Language of Literature book, to leave in classroom. Cover with a solid book cover and write your name on it.
