HW/Announcements -- Week of 10/16

A few reminders: HOMEWORK IS IMPORTANT!!!!! The homework/classwork that I assign is DIRECTLY related to what I ask on the quizzes/tests, so if you can do your homework/classwork, then you can do the quiz/test! Ask questions if you get the answers wrong!
Some of you have F averages for the second quarter -- ALREADY!!!! Remember that one may turn in late homework for partial credit up to five days after it was due. You are shooting yourself in both feet by not doing homework -- 1) you get a "zero" in your average; and 2) you are not practicing for the quiz/test (read: LESS STUDY TIME if you do homework!).

With that said, here is this week's homework:

Septimi (VII): Quiz this THURSDAY on derivatives (diary, Pennsylvania, frigid, errand, error, err, temerarious, lupine, STAT!, petition, repel, timorous, salvation, terrified, volunteer/voluntary, caldron) -- will have 5 fill-in-the-blank with wordbank and 5 questions write your own sentence. Quiz this FRIDAY on Chapter 6 Vocabulary -- ALL WORDS! (I gave you two weeks to study last time and that made no difference!)
HW for:
Monday (due Tuesday): Pompeii assignment. Remember that it must be printed and ready to go BEFORE class. If you have printer problems, e-mail me no later than 9PM Monday night!
