Homework for English I - 5/15 and 5/16

English I:

The date that all of you should be focusing on is 5/21 (A-day) and 5/22 (B-day).  These are the days when your vocabulary assignment will be due as well as our final poetry quiz for the year.  The poetry quiz is going to cover the following poems.  We've studied the first three already, the fourth one will be read and studied in class on Thursday/Friday.  The poems for the quiz are:

1. "in Just-"  ee cummings
2. "Fire and Ice"  Robert Frost
3. "Once by the Pacific"  Robert Frost
4. Ballad of Birmingham  Dudley Randall

You will be asked short answer and multiple choice questions.  Begin studying and be ready.  This will count for a lot of points.

Also, you have your vocabulary assignment due on the 21st/22nd - the NEOLOGISMS assignment.  Let me review the important elements of this assignment.

Honors - Create FIVE neologisms using at least FOUR wordparts.
Standard - Create THREE neologisms using at least THREE wordparts.

For each neologism you must do the following:

1. the new word (neologism)
2. a breakdown of the word with its wordparts and their meaning
3. an actual definition of the word that makes sense
4. a sentence using the word in context (I should understand the meaning of the word from reading the sentence)
5. an image or picture to go along with the word

Each word will need to be on its own piece of paper to fit everything and do it well.  Make sure that you use color and graphics to add to your word page so that it pops.  Feel free to do one and bring it to me so that I can look over it.

I think that does it!
