Practice, Rough Draft Work, Bibliography, and Planning
Do Practice Exercises on Page 90 of the textbook.
Complete your Bibliography page that will accompany the Final Draft of the Knights mini research paper. The guide for this is on page 89, and the sources from the book were completed in class.
Read Page 93. Then, look at the box on the bottom of Page 88 and begin thinking and planning for the research report that will be the next project. Choose at least two sources for your topic and bring them to class on Friday.
The students who received back their Knights Rough Draft need to mark the elements and notate them in the margin of the paper using the Rough Draft Checklists on page 75, 78, 80, and 86. The three students whose copies I still possess do not have this to do because they already did so: Jacob, Allie, and Elijah.
Level A students should remember that they are not required to do Introductory or Conclusion Paragraphs, but merely Introductory and Conclusion Sentences. Neither do Level A students have to find additional information for the three topics from outside sources.

Prepositional Openers
Read and be able to recognize prepositions from page 6 of the SRN. Read page 87 in the text, and then write 5 random sentences using a #2 Sentence Opener for practice.
Read and study Grammar Rule 2a on page 60 of the SRN. Write 5 sentences using the #2 Sentence Opener with 5 different prepositions.
Write quality sentences for these practice exercises and be prepared to share some in class on Tuesday.
Those who have not completed the Rough Draft of the Mini Research Paper should have that for me on Tuesday. Please note that Level A students are not required to write Introductory or Conclusion PARAGRAPHS, but they instead should have Introductory and Conclusion SENTENCES.
The text adequately details what is expected for both the process and the requirements of the project, but please do contact me if you need clarification.
