For English I
Seatwork for January 17, 2006: Since you will be viewing a film on the 20th, you knew this long seatwork was coming. Please use print and use intermediate pad paper or yellow pad trimmed to the size of intermediate pad paper. Submit your answers before 12 noon on Monday, January 23, 2006. Slip your submissions under my door-it’s the safest thing to do.
All items from Writing Clear Paragraphs (WCP):
1. Choose five (5) items (total from all three, not five from each) from exercises II c, d, e on pages 45-47. Add only punctuation to separate OR combine the fused sentences; do not change anything else in the target sentences.
2. Answer all items for exercise II f on page 47. Add only punctuation to separate OR combine the fused sentences; do not change anything else in the target sentences that have nothing to do with punctuation.
3. Study the discussion of actor-action sequence in chapter 2, then answer all items in II g on page 50. Simply put the sentence in actor-action sequence; do not change anything else in the sentence that has nothing to do with fixing actor-action sequence.
4. Study the discussion of replacing the “be” verb with an active verb in chapter 2, then answer all items in exercise II h on pages 51-52. Note that this may involve major revision, so be sure to consult your handout on verbs if necessary.
A Different Graded Recitation for Tuesday, January 24: Technically, everyone passes so long as they try to answer. You will be called at random then given four (4) questions based on the coverage below. Here’s the catch: you must answer all three correctly; each mistake will cost you ten (10) of your hard-won bonus points. These deductions are also applied:
- 30 for being absent on the day of the recitation
- 5 if, after one reminder to speak up, I still cannot hear you
- 5 for each episode of coaching, catcalling, or making noise while
someone else is speaking (Wow, it’s like going back to high school!)
COVERAGE:
1. Subject-Verb Agreement, WCP pp. 66-70: Read this and your handout on verbs, then answer exercises E and F on pages 70-71. Be ready to explain WHY your answer is the wrong choice. HINT: Identifying the subject and the verb of the sentence helps.
2. Your old exercise on the insertion of articles, etc. (the one about antibiotics)
3. The “seatwork” for January 17, 2006.
CW 100: I will hand out copies of the secrets as soon as everyone has submitted them.
Here is the framework (partly adapted from “The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Creative Writing) for drafting your stories. Simply fill in the blanks.
Submission guidelines:
1. Make 16 copies of your answer.
2. Submit the original copy of your answer to me by slipping it under my door on Friday, January 20, 2006.
2. Place the 16 photocopies of your answer in a brown envelope then submit the envelope to Allen Malumay (thanks!) on Friday, January 20, 2006, at 1:30 pm in our regular classroom. Allen will then distribute the copies; once you’ve got a copy of everyone’s work, you can go. Anyone who submits their work after 1:30 pm has to pay a fine of P 200, which will be used to pay for the photocopying expenses of the rest of the class (sige, let’s see who’ll be late?) for the first major workshop.
