Online Grammar Quizzes

You have two grammar quizzes to complete by November 14 and two more to complete by November 30.

To Log-In:

1.  Go to www.noredink.com.
2.  Click on the Student button.
3.  Use your class code (see below).  You do not need to provide your e-mail, but you do need to use your real name so that I can give you credit.
4.  Complete the "Subject-Verb Agreement" and "Commas, Fragments, and Run-ons" assignments first.  The program allows you to make second and third guesses, but your first answer is the one that counts, so answer each question carefully.

Note:  This program will help me understand what grammar rules I need to review in class, but if you can see you are struggling with a particular rule that we do not learn together, come see me.  I will review it with you, and if you show mastery after tutoring, I will raise your quiz grade.

A Chance to Tell Your Story on the Radio!

Hey Everybody!

My friend works for National Public Radio, and alerted me to this opportunity.  A show called "Radio Diaries" has been helping teens write and record their stories for radio for sixteen years.  You can see some of their amazing work here:

To celebrate Radio Diaries' sixteenth birthday, a website named Cowbird is looking for 300 teens who want to tell their story by writing and creating a radio short.  If you're interested, listen to some of the former stories and brainstorm what you might speak about in your own life.

I'm happy to contact my friend Sarah if anyone wants to pursuing their first radio short!
