Week of May 21, 2012
M 5/21
English: 7.2 p320 #9-30.  Think about what you want to build on your "Preposition Park." If you have bits and pieces of construciont stuff you want to bring in (foil, string) be my guest.
Geog: Study maps, ALL capitals, ALL peninsulas, ALL mountains, ALL seas on your list!  Don't forget the capital of Cyprus.  Locate Sicily, Malta and the Balearic Islands (you added the last 2 by vote). 
Reading: Reading comprehension sheet on "Where the Red Fern Grows."  Study vocab-socio.

T 5/22
English: Write 15 sentences using 15 different prepositions.  Underline the prepositional phrase.  Remember you have to memorize at least 20 prepositions for a test.  5 points each.  Extra credit will be given for each prepostion over the required 20.  But if you only know 10, you get a 50 (failing).  Try to put them to a song.  (Look up one on YouTube?)  See if Hunter can still sing the prepostions to "Yankee Doodle."  The Preposition Parks are looking great!
Geog: Ch 11 map test tomorrow!  Chapter content test on Thursday.
Reading: Reading comprehension sheet on "Island of the Blue Dolphins."  Study that vocab.

W 5/23

Geog: no homework--you had a test today.
