    Shurley English 6 for October 11th

    October 6, 2019 /

    This week we are working on Chapter 7. We did all of Lesson 1, the practice sentence on page 119 of the Teacher’s Manual, and went over the writing assignment in Lesson 5. Please complete Lessons 2-5 at home this week. Don’t forget to study past pairs of synonyms and antonyms.  There is always a section on the tests about these, and they can really bring down your grade if you don’t refresh your memory! Have a great week!

    For this week, study Lesson XXII and work on the exercises. You do not need to finish these this week. Your quiz for Friday will consist of the third declension chart on page 58. You will need to be able to duplicate this from scratch, or dare I say “ex nihilo!” Also, ANYTHING from Lesson IV could be included on the quiz. Remember, you will only have 10 minutes to take the quiz. Study thoroughly! Finally, if a parent is reading this, please (if possible) have your child read this assignment also.  I’m consistently hearing reports of students not knowing the full assignment. Thank you!
