Roots and Grammar Study

Use your grammar exams which you received back from me as a guide to study the corrections of the errors made on it.

Study your Root cards for words 42- 57.  Prepare as if for a quiz.

Practice and Study

Complete pages 85-86, practicing with adjective clauses.  Remember they are subordinating.  Draw an arrow from the adjective clauses to the word each of them describes.  Use commas where it is proper to do so.

Study your roots and derivatives.  Concentrate especially on learning the most recent words but do not neglect reviewing older ones.

Adverbial Clauses

Complete pages 78-79.  Then on all pages 77-79, draw arrows from the subordinating clauses to the word it modifies.  Write over the arrow line the adverbial question which the clause answers.

Complete page 80.  READ the directions thoroughly as they will help you.

Complete the necessary corrections on pages 69-70 which you received back today.  Remember to do on separate paper only the ones which you did not previously successfully correct.

If you encounter any problems with any part of this homework, remember that the instructional teaching in the textbook is there to assist you.  Take your time, apply full attention to the task, and think through what you are doing.  It may be slow initially, but if you practice thoughtfully it will become natural.
