College Prep English Class, week 6

College Prep English Class, week 6

Dear Scholars,

Nathan will give a presentation in class on violin playing. We will follow this with questions and discussion.

We will go over thoughts for writing projects and try to find something that will inspire everyone. Just a paragraph or two about a pet, or a relative, or an experience would be fine. I dislike using "What did you do on your summer vacation" because everyone hates to do that. The subject, and length are up to you.

Please have a look at the Vocabulary journals entries made by class members. There are some wonderful and useful words there. We will be discussing them and using them.

A link to the FreeRice vocabulary quiz page has been added to the class main page. This is a very well constructed vocabulary quiz program which adjusts automatically to all skill levels. We will discuss ways to use it. It is an excellent source for vocabulary journal words.

We will talk about class projects including reading a play (probably Shakespeare), and possibly submitting essays, poems, narratives in homeschooling publications. Please bring in any other thoughts you have.
