First Bib Card and Note Card

After Mr. Stone shard another poem and prayed, he walked through the students' desks to make sure the students were beginning with an approved source. Students used their copy of Diana Hacker's A Pocket Style Manual to identify the type of source for which they were writing a bib card. He continued to circulate through the room to answer questions and approve the students' first bib card as they finished. Students then began to work on their first note cards. Ideally, students completed five note cards during the period.

Homework: Study the words from Chapter 4 of Vocabulary Energizers and review the previous chapters' words. Remember that the extra credit questions will come from the word origin stories of the current chapter's words (Ch. 4).

Students will take their vocabulary quiz at the beginning of the next class and then continue taking notes. Students should have fifteen note cards completed by the beginning of class on Monday (Tuesday for period seven).

On Monday, students will complete the exercises for Chapter 5 of Vocabulary Energizers in class. Students who are going on the choir trip were given a photocopy of Chapter 5 to complete. They were discouraged from taking their vocabulary book on tour.
