Wednesday, December 9

MATH
Yesterday we looked at choosing a reasonable scale for graphs, and today we put it into practice. You will be drawing three more graphs for homework tonight in your Math notebooks. Refer to worksheet 8.2.

HUMANTIES
Oh, why does English have to have so many rules? We learned about three more ways commas are used.
1. To set off the name of a person when addressing them
Roger, can you please get me that book?

2. To set off words like yes, no and well at the beginning of a sentence.
Yes, we have no bananas.

3. To set off an appositive, the extra description of a noun.
Dr. Chen, our family doctor, is moving to a new clinic this fall.

Practice these rules for commas tonight with the worksheet handed out in class.
