- In the lab, wrote Draft 3 of Task 10 (Is it better for a country's media to be independent of the government? Or is it better for the media to also be a branch of government?)
- Completed Ex. 4, p. 213. (This is Ex. 3 in Unit 9 in the old version.) Remember connecting words that add information (e.g., moreover, furthermore, also, additionally, in addition) are used for items in the same category, similar to a list. For example, these words can be used to introduce the three reasons that support your thesis or the next example in a series of examples. Don't overuse connecting words of addition!
- Started Unit 6: Relative, Adverbial, and Noun Clauses. Studied the box on p. 124 that identifies independent and dependent clauses and lists the three types of dependent clauses: relative or adjective, adverb, and noun clauses.
Homework
Monday
- Study for the quiz on Unit 9: Connecting Words. The quiz will be very similar to the post-test on pp. 214-215: You will need to identify whether the sentence's connecting words are correct or incorrect and then fix the mistakes. You will also need to fill in the correct connecting words in a paragraph (similar to Ex. 4). Finally, you will need to write sentences with the connecting words from the pink handout.
- Read pp. 128-130. (For the old version, this is the grammar information section of Unit 6. It should teach about the different words that can start relative clauses.)
- Turn in the packet for Tasks 7 & 8, including the cover sheet, 4 drafts for Task 7 and 4 drafts for Task 8. Note that this is due on MONDAY not FRIDAY.
