Hello Parents! I've received a few questions about the recent grades input to Gradelink for the term paper outline and intro paragraph. In reviewing the info, I realized I made a mistake inputting the scores. I put the paragraph scores into the outline slot. Although this does make the score for that assignment "skewed", it does not effect the overall grade for the class since overall, the student will still score the same number of points between the two assignments. My final percentage is based on total points earned divided by total points possible. I apologize for any inconveniences.

TKAM Vocab
Ladies and Gentlemen, below is the list of vocabulary words for Section 1 (Chapters 1-5). Here are the requirements for ALL vocabulary lists while we are working on To Kill a Mockingbird:
1) Use the Dictionary link found on the Useful Links menu to the right of the posts.
2) Find the terms in the text and use the definition that matches the context from the novel.
3) Write/type/list the correct definitions. These definitions will be graded at the end of the section, i.e. once we finish Chp. 5, I will check to see that you have the definitions completed.
4) When we finish a section, there will be a spelling test and vocab quiz or crossword puzzle.
There are no set dates for the tests or definitions. Pay attention in class to our progress in each section. There will be verbal reminders as we go, but it's almost time for high school and you need to continue becoming independent learners.

Erratic Iniquities Contentious
