Hey Nicolas,

Here is the powerpoint presentation that I gave to the class on apostrophes. Please use this to create your own powerpoint presentation about correct and incorrect uses of apostrophes.



In class this week we are working on poetry in English. We will be having a poetry recital (reading) contest at the end of the week, in which students choose their favorite poem and read it in front of the class. This will be difficult for you to do, as your not here. For now, please just work on the apostrophe presentation and the book summary.

Take care,

Mr. Tom

Hey Nicolas,

This week the class is presenting their powerpoint presentations. I need you to send me yours so I can grade it. The class is also having a quiz on punctuation. Because you can't be here to take the quiz, I would like you to do the following: Below, I have included a passage from the book "School of Wizardry." I took out all of the capital letters and punctuation marks. You need to add capital letters and punctuation marks again. Feel free to post your answer below.

I would also like you to write a review for the book that you are currently reading. Your review should be at least 3 paragraphs long and include the following information: a summary of the plot of the book, what you liked about the book using examples from the text, and what you disliked about the book using examples from the text.
