English 8 & Advanced English 8: Class on Friday, September 12th

First:
You are to log on to No Red Ink using the account that you created last week in class.  If you need assistance with this, you are to check the blog post from last week with the instructions. You will have to scroll down on the blog because there have been many posts since I made that post.

When you have logged on, you will see that you have an assignment labeled: 
Grammar Practice 1: Sentences and Fragments
(Note: If your teacher used No Red Ink last year, you should "leave" that class so that you don't get confused about what you need to do when you log on to No Red Ink. 

This assignment has 50 questions.  This assignment is not for a grade.

Second:
When you have finished the assignment in No Red Ink, you are to log on to the online textbook by using the links on the Supernova Team blog.

Step 1: You are to log on and click the link that says "Go to the Online Textbook" which appears next to the picture of the book.

Step 2: Select from the first drop-down menu "Unit 1: Plot and Conflict" and "The Ransom of Red Chief" from the second and click "Go!"

Step 3: Click the tab that says "Student Resources" 

Step 4: You are to go through the "Level Up" activities under the heading "Online Extras". You are to go through the level up activities for conflict, making predictions, and fragments and run-ons.  * For each of the three level up activities you need to click the "Tutorial" tab first and then click the "Practice" tab. 

Step 5:  If you get done with this, you can click on the "Grammar Notes: Run-On Sentences".

Third:
You can also use the link on the Supernova Team blog for Quizlet and practice your vocabulary terms for your test on Tuesday.  Be sure that you are selecting the list for "The Ransom of Red Chief". 

Reminder:  The work for "The Ransom of Red Chief" is due on Monday.
