Monday, September 27...review of denote and conote from Friday and independent practice for homeowork

Housekeeping: Please make sure you keep up with your assignments. If there is a ZERO, that means I did not receive the work. Please resend. If you put something in google classroom, I would never know. We use a blog in this class. The only item in google classroom is the daily link and due date of the assignment. 

Any work on the blog can be copied onto a google doc, completed and shared with me by either entering my name or number (2006630), which will enable my name to pop up in the drop down. 

If you are absent, please go the the blog. It is organized by day, so you can find out everything we did in class.  You can always access it directly for any internet: https://sotaenglish3.blogspot.com/  Everything, including due dates, is on our class blog.
