Working on your own requires self control and determination. I feel you are up to the task. If you ever have a question about an assignment, you can reach me by phone (Whittier- 801-481-4846 ext. 214) (Indian Hills- 801-584-2908 ext.308) or email. Write this number down on a sticky note and keep it in your planner or notebook where you can find it easily. If you have a question that needs to be answered right away, try calling more than once, if necessary.
You will have 1 hour each day to work. For the beginning of the year, this time will be divided into two time periods. It is expected that you will set a timer and hold yourself to this time frame. To begin, spend 25 min. each day on Grammar Voyage. Any work not completed during this time is homework. When the timer goes off, set it again for 35 min. During this second time frame, you will be working on a unit of study from the Center for Gifted Education at the College of William and Mary titled: "Autobiographies". As with your Grammar study, any work not completed in class is homework. Today you will begin Grammar Voyage. What an exciting journey! Each day you will spend 25 min. I expect you to set a timer and hold to this timeframe. Begin by taking the pretest (both sides of the page). Pace yourself so that you have time for the rest of the lesson, approx. 10 min-one min per problem. Then, with a partner, set sail on page 3. Partner read (One person reads the first page and the second person summarizes and asks for clarification if necessary. Switch roles on each successive page) to page 8. Do not skip page 6... in fact, read it with a zesty feeling! This should take you 5 minutes. Create flashcards from index cards for the ancient world meanings on page 8 and memorize. This should take about 8 minutes. If time allows, you may practice these with your classmates or on your own. You will have a test on these 24 Latin words on Friday. I prefer to call memorizing, "Learning by heart". You will use these words in school and throughout your life. Cherish them! :)
