EF6 July 8

 Good morning, everyone.

We will get started at 8:30.

Cameras on. Mics muted.

 

Today’s agenda:

1.    Quiz#1

2.    Begin compound sentences

3.    Monday- Quiz#2, Compound sentences

 

 

 

* Words of advice for Quiz#1:

A simple sentence is short and basic.

SV

SSV

SVV

SSVV

Imperative

Interrogative

 

Don’t write long, elaborate compound or complex sentences for the quiz. The quiz is just on simple sentences.

i.e.

If your art teacher asks you to draw an apple and you paint the Mona Lisa, that’s not what she was asking for.

If a customer asks for a cheese sandwich, and you make them lamb chops with rosemary balsamic reduction, that’s not what they asked for.

If I ask for 6 simple sentences, and you write 6 long complicated sentences, that’s not what I asked for.

 

 

** Cheating/Plagiarizing

If you copy from the internet or get somebody else to help with your quiz and I figure it out, you will get a 0. I will write a letter for your permanent file for all future teachers to see. This is the school policy on cheating and plagiairism. Most importantly, I will not be able to trust you. Don’t do it. I don’t cheat you- please do not try to cheat me.

 

 

 

Quiz – enough time to write 6 simple sentences

I will mark these and I hope to get them back to you by class time tomorrow.
