Module 5
Tips for Success
5.00 Print your itinerary and place it behind a new tab in
your language arts notebook.
Make sure that you have printed a copy of your
segment 2 pace chart and that you have labeled each
week with due dates of each Sunday after you begin
your work.
For module 5, you will need to have the novel that you
chose to read. If you were in segment 1, you were
given this list in 4.01. If you are new to segment 2, you
may find the novel list by clicking “Course Information”
and “Materials”. Please call me if you do not have your
novel so that we may discuss your beginning point in
segment 2.
As you read each lesson:
*Carefully read all information
*Click on each link you see and carefully review the
information on each
*Complete practice activities as you encounter each
*Print important pages/take careful notes. Place all
practice activities and notes in your language arts
notebook.
5.01 This lesson explains how you will complete the module along
with reading your novel. All links within your lessons are
important, but I would like to highlight a few for you.
The link titled “Reading Schedule” shows you which
pages/chapters you should read prior to completing
different lessons in the module. (Basically, you will
divide your novel into four parts. Part 1 should be read
prior to completing lesson 5.01, Part 2 should be
completed prior to completing lessons 5.02 and 5.03,
Part 3 should be read prior to completing lessons 5.04
and 5.05, and Part 4 should be read prior to completing
lessons 5.06-5.08.)
(more below)
The link titled “Traveler’s Log Journal” shows you the
specific directions for each of the four traveler’s logs
you will write. (Note: Only the first and fourth
traveler’s logs are required work.)
The link titled “Lesson 5.07” explains that you will be
keeping a list of at least 10 words as you read your
novel. Keep an eye out for words that are new to you
or challenge you in some way.
5.01A:
This is your first two paragraph traveler’s log entry.
5.01B:
This assessment will check your understanding of the
elements of fiction.
As you complete your exam, you may find it helpful to
have a separate tab open to the lesson so that you may
refer to it as you consider your choices and choose
your answers. Just be careful not to click away from
the assessment itself, as you will not be allowed to open
it again. If you do move away from the assessment, you
will need me to reset it for you, and you will begin again.
5.02 5.02A:
At the bottom of the “Explore” tab, you will find a link
titled “fact-finding details”. Click there to read the
directions for this assessment.
Part I of 5.02A is where you will list three facts you
learned about the actual setting of your novel. There
are links to many of the books which will help you
research your facts. You are also welcome to google
the setting of your novel to learn more about that
particular place and time.
Part II of 5.02A is where you will answer three
questions:
1) Where is your novel taking place?
2) When is your novel taking place? (If you are
not told this directly, use context clues.
Think of what the characters wear, how they
speak, what type of houses they live in, what
they do for fun/work, etc. I am looking for a
specific time period. You may also know a
season or time of year as well.)
3) What have you learned about the background
of your setting? (Think of how you are
picturing this place in your head. Is it
crowded? Big city? Rural area? Bright? Dim?
Hot? Cold? Clean? Dirty? Etc.)
***Note: If you are reading Princess Academy, the setting is
fictional. For you, be sure that you click on the link for
Princess Academy, and you will see a graphic organizer
highlighting place, time, and environment. That is what you
will complete only. You will not have part I and part II
separately.
5.02B:
You have two options, located on the “Reflect” tab.
Option 1: Write a postcard to your main character pretending
that you are visiting his/her hometown. Write a full, five
sentence paragraph about what you are experiencing on your
visit. Your supporting details should be things you learned
about the setting from reading your novel. Be sure to write in
friendly letter form.
Or
Option 2: Describe the car your main character would have.
Write a full, five sentence paragraph about what make and
model this character would drive. For details, consider if it
would be a fast car or slow? What color? Interior? “Add-
ons”? etc.
For both option 1 and 2, be sure to proofread your work so
that you have corrected any spelling, capitalization,
punctuation, or grammar mistakes.
5.03 5.03A:
You are asked to write a news lead and to create a headline
for your news article. There are links in your lesson to give
tips on creating a headline and to learn more about writing a
news lead.
Pretend that the story you are reading about is real
and that you are a reporter writing a news article about
the events taking place. You are introducing the main
who, what, where, when, and why.
Here's an example from a story we all know and love, The
Three Little Pigs.
TERROR STRIKES LOCAL FOREST
Yesterday, in a nearby forest, terror struck as a ravenous
wolf focused on making a family of pigs, three brothers, his
lunch. After realizing their immediate danger, the three pig
brothers each returned home. (An interesting point--each of
their homes are made from very different materials.) After
huffing and puffing relentlessly, the wolf began destroying
their homes one by one, as each pig ran for safety.
I've given you the who (three little pig brothers), the what
(pigs trying to escape a wolf), the where (in a forest), the
when (yesterday), and they why (the wolf is hungry).
After this news lead, I would have continued my article to
explain more detail of what took place and how the issue was
resolved.
5.03B:
As you can see in our SEGMENT PACE CHART PLUS, this is an
EXEMPT assignment. This is a PRACTICE assignment only and
will not count toward your overall grade average.
5.04 Read your lesson, complete practice activities, take
notes/print helpful information, and complete your
assessment as directed.
5.05 5.05A:
You will complete an assessment to show your understanding
of theme.
Select the theme of your novel. Theme is the message
of the story. You can think of what the characters or
readers learn through their journey. It is not the
subject of the book (about dogs or sports). It is also
not the genre (mystery, drama, science fiction).
On the “Explore” page of your lesson, there is a link
titled “Starter List of Themes”. This is a really helpful
tool in helping to choose the theme of the story you
have read.
At the bottom of the “Explore” page, there is a link
titled “Select a Theme Song”. You will choose a song
that you feel goes along best with the theme of your
novel. This link shows you exactly what you will write in
your paragraph, sentence by sentence.
5.05B:
As you can see in our SEGMENT PACE CHART PLUS, this is an
EXEMPT assignment. This is a PRACTICE assignment only and
will not count toward your overall grade average.
5.06 Read your lesson, complete practice activities, take
notes/print helpful information, and complete your
assessment as directed.
5.07 5.07A:
This is where you will submit the 10 words you have gathered
as you read your novel.
Be sure to include each word, definition, and part of
speech (whether each word is a noun, verb, adjective,
or adverb).
Be sure to write a sentence using each word that you have
learned. Challenge yourself to use more than one word in
each sentence.
5.07B:
This is your fourth entry of your traveler’s log. The
directions are again linked in this lesson for you.
Remember, you are writing two full, five sentence
paragraphs addressing the points given in the
directions.
When you write chapter titles, main words are
capitalized. Chapter titles are also placed in quotes
(though novel titles are underlined or put in italics).
5.08 You will be writing a five paragraph persuasive essay to
convince others to read the novel you chose for this module.
The “Explore” page of your lesson contains specific
information for each paragraph of the essay you will
write.
BRAINSTORM: Begin by thinking of the reasons why
you would recommend someone read this novel. There
are ideas for you in your lesson. Choose three specific,
separate reasons that you feel you will be able to
provide details and support to explain. These will be
your topics for your body paragraphs.
Ideas: interesting character(s), exciting plot, unique
setting, author’s writing style, important
theme/message, or challenging vocabulary
Please talk with me if you are struggling to think three
solid reasons, and I will help you.
PLAN: Before you begin writing your essay, take time
to plan your thoughts. If you completed module 4, you
are welcome to use the outline format that you used
for your smart shopper essay. You may also use a
different type of organizer. Just remember, that
listing your ideas before you write will help you
organize your thoughts, remember all that you plan to
say, and will allow you to focus on HOW you are sharing
your thoughts.
WRITE: Compose your essay following the five
paragraph structure you see in your lesson. Be sure
that you take time to make any needed revisions and to
proofread for proper spelling, capitalization,
punctuation, and grammar.
PUBLISH: You will post your entire essay on the
discussion board for this lesson. Be sure to submit
your assessment for scoring.
Don’t forget to respond to the essay of a classmate.
Write what you feel he or she did well or what you
enjoyed about their writing. Be specific. Make sure
that your comments are 2-3 sentences in length and
that you write in friendly letter form.
5.09 This assessment is for students completing the advanced
section of the course. Please let me know if you have specific
questions on this assessment.
5.10 Review your work in your module.
Resubmit any assessments that you choose to improve.
Complete your chapter review and check your score
when you are complete.
Keep in mind, these questions are similar to the types of
questions you will see later on your segment exam. If you are
not pleased with your score, I am happy to reset your exam
for you. I am happy to review any information with you that
you found confusing or unclear.
Module 6
Tips for Success
6.00 Print your itinerary and place it behind a new tab in
your language arts notebook.
Check your dated pace chart to make sure that you are
on target or ahead of pace. If you have fallen behind,
plan to complete extra assignments each week until you
are back on track.
As you read each lesson:
*Carefully read all information
*Click on each link you see and carefully review the
information on each
*Complete practice activities as you encounter each
*Print important pages/take careful notes. Place all
practice activities and notes in your language arts
notebook.
6.01 Read your lesson, complete practice activities, take
notes/print helpful information, and complete your
assessment as directed.
6.02 You will write a poem creating similes.
On the “Reflect” page of your lesson, click the link
titled “Simile Writing” for the specific directions for
your poem.
Your poem will be structured like this:
Line 1: The first part of your simile (this is the object
you will compare to others)
Like
Line 3: This is your first simile
Like
Line 5: This is your second simile
Like
Line 7: This is your third simile
You will post your poem on the discussion board for this
lesson. There are directions for creating your
discussion board post in the purple help box.
Be sure to respond to the poem of a classmate. Write
what you enjoyed or found to be well done with their
writing. Be specific! Make sure that your comments
are 2-3 sentences in length and that you have written
in friendly letter form.
Submit for scoring.
6.03 You are writing a poem using similes and a metaphor.
On the “Reflect” page, click the link titled “Writing an
Emotion Metaphor and Simile poem”. Your specific
directions are located here.
Your poem will be about an emotion. Choose which
emotion you will write about and insert your choice
where you see the word “emotion” in the poem below.
Your poem will be structured exactly like this:
(Emotion) is color. (This line is a metaphor.)
It sounds like... (This line is a simile.)
It tastes like... (This line is a simile.)
It smells like... (This line is a simile.)
(Emotion) feels like... (This line is a simile.)
6.04 You will be using sensory language to write two haiku poems.
Haiku poems are about nature.
When writing haiku poems, you are limited by the size
of each line. It is important to choose your words
carefully. Try to avoid small words such as “the” “and”,
“a” and stick descriptive, sensory language.
A haiku will follow this structure:
Line 1: 5 syllables
Line 2: 7 syllables
Line 3: 5 syllables
You will give your poem a title.
Tip: Try to not actually use the subject of the poem
actually within the haiku. For example, if your haiku is
about a storm, you can title it “The Storm”, but then in
your actual haiku, try not to use the word storm. Use
descriptive language to SHOW the storm.
Remember, you will create two haiku poems to submit.
6.05 You will be creating a poem using sound devices. After
carefully reading your lesson, along with all of the links and
practices you encounter, you will write your poem.
You will write about a place you know well.
You will use both onomatopoeia (at least one example)
and rhyme (at least two words) in your poem.
Tip: For onomatopoeia, try to avoid adding “ing” or “ed”
to your word to truly capture the sound. You may try
using all caps to make the sound “louder”.
Your poem should be 6-8 lines in length.
You will post your poem to the discussion board for this
lesson. Don’t forget to submit your assessment for
scoring.
You will also respond to the poem of a classmate, using
friendly letter form.
You may want to include the following:
What is one plus, or the most positive thing I see in the
poem?
What is one minus, or weakness, I see in the poem?
What changes can be made for you to improve this
part?
What line do I find to be the most interesting? Why?
6.06 This grammar junction focuses on prepositions. They are
tricky, but easy once you get the hang of it.
Be sure to print or copy the list of prepositions located
on the “Embark” page of your lesson under the “ABC
Teach’s Preposition Chart” link.
A helpful trick is to remember that most prepositions
can complete this sentence:
A frog can go _____ a log.
A frog can go behind/near/below/behind a log.
An exception is the preposition “except”, which is easy
to remember.
Prepositions will always be followed by a noun. This
noun is called the object of the preposition.
behind a table
table=object of the preposition (it is the noun that
follows the preposition)
The preposition to the object (the noun that follows) is
called the prepositional phrase. Note: There may be
adjectives between the preposition and the object, and
they are part of the prepositional phrase.
behind a table=prepositional phrase
(begins with the preposition, followed by the object,
with the article adjective “a” in between)
Read the questions on your assessment carefully. Some
will ask you to find the preposition, some will ask you to
find the object, and some will ask you to find the entire
prepositional phrase. Use your chart to help you!
One last tip, http://youtu.be/yfExXGMX2JM is a
youtube link to “Busy Prepositions”. So much fun to
watch, and you might find yourself singing along as you
complete your activity.
6.07 As you can see in our SEGMENT PACE CHART PLUS, this is an
EXEMPT assignment. This is a PRACTICE assignment only and
will not count toward your overall grade average.
6.08 You will write a poem using words from your module 5 or
module 6 glossaries.
Your poem should be about a topic which interests you
(nature, sports, friends, family, etc.)
Your poem will be 6-8 lines.
You will include any five words from your module 5
and/or module 6 glossaries.
Include at least one of the elements of poetry you have
practiced in your lessons so far (simile, metaphor,
sensory language, imagery, onomatopoeia, or rhyme)
You will post your poem on the discussion board.
You will respond to a classmate, sharing what you
enjoyed or found interesting about his/her poem. Be
sure to write 2-3 thoughtful sentences, and make sure
you write in friendly letter form.
6.09 This assessment is for students completing the advanced
section of the course. Please let me know if you have specific
questions on this assessment.
6.10 6.10A:
Review your work in your module.
Resubmit any assessments that you choose to improve.
Complete your chapter review and check your score
when you are complete.
Keep in mind, as with module 5, these questions are similar to
the types of questions you will see later on your segment
exam. If you are not pleased with your score, I am happy to
reset your exam for you. I am happy to review any
information with you that you found confusing or unclear.
6.10B:
Call, text, email, or schedule an appointment for me to call you
for your oral exam. Please review your notes prior to our
conversation.
Module 7
Tips for Success
7.00 Print your itinerary and place it behind a new tab in
your language arts notebook.
Check your dated pace chart to make sure that you are
on target or ahead of pace. If you have fallen behind,
plan to complete extra assignments each week until you
are back on track.
As you read each lesson:
*Carefully read all information
*Click on each link you see and carefully review the
information on each
*Complete practice activities as you encounter each
*Print important pages/take careful notes. Place all
practice activities and notes in your language arts
notebook.
7.01 For this lesson you will respond to a dramatic reading.
On the “Explore” page, you will find your directions. There
are three important links, and you will use these at the same
time.
Click the link to “Chapter One” to find the text you will
read as you listen to the passage.
Click the link “Narrator and Alice Questions” to open
your note taking guide.
Click the link to “Lit2Go’s Chapter One”. This is the
audio recording of the passage as it is read aloud.
Follow along as you listen.
You will then write a paragraph response. You are responding
to the way the passage was read (NOT the story itself). Your
paragraph should be 5-7 full sentences and should have a
clear topic, body, and closing.
Be sure to include:
Your personal response to the narrator's voice - tell
how listening to the reading made you feel.
The reader's emotions, with the cues from the reading
that tell you how she is feeling.
An overall grade you would give the reader for her role,
with an explanation why you give her the grade you
decide on.
7.02 In this lesson, you will be learning about the elements of
drama.
There is not an assessment to submit for this lesson, but
it is important that you complete all activities, take good
notes, and save them in your notebook.
7.03 7.03A:
You now have the chance to share your dramatic talents by
performing The Magic Brocade as either Chen, Li-en, or the
Widow. You should recruit family members or friends to
perform the other roles. (It’s ok if you each play more than
one part.) Have fun with your performance!!
On the “Explore” page, you will find a link to the “Read-Aloud
Rubric”.
You will turn in your score for each of the five categories on
the rubric, along with your total score.
7.03B:
Complete as directed.
7.04 You will be creating a playbill for The Magic Brocade.
On the bottom of the “Embark” page, you will find a sample
playbill. You will be creating something very similar.
On the “Explore” page, underneath the heading for “The
Picture Perfect Playbill”, you will find specific directions for
each of the four parts you will create:
You will give your playbill an “artistic” quality. There
are links to help you with ideas. Students commonly
use word or power point to create their playbills.
You will list each character in the Cast of Characters.
Biographies: You will choose an actor or actress to play
the roles of Chen, Li-en, and the Widow. You will then
research each of those actors, and you will write a one
paragraph biography of each. In your lesson, you will
see bullet points of what you may choose to include in
your actor biography paragraphs.
Play Summary: You will then write a two paragraph
play summary.
The first paragraph will include the title, author,
setting, and character descriptions.
The second paragraph will summarize the plot (the
main sequence of events).
Note: On the “Reflect” page, you will see “Playbill Rubric”
which will, again, go over each of the required parts of your
playbill.
7.05 7.05A:
You will compose three compound sentences that tell some
unusual facts about you.
Remember, a compound sentence is formed by joining two
complete sentences together with a comma and a conjunction.
We have a great link in the purple help box to help guide you
in writing compound sentences.
HINT: It may be easiest to write two sentences before you
try to join them together.
Here is an example:
I can wiggle my ears. It makes my son laugh.
I can wiggle my ears, and it makes my son laugh.
TIP: Here is a way to check to see if you have written your
compound sentence correctly. Hold your finger over the
comma and conjunction. You should see that you have two
separate sentences on either side of your finger.
TRY IT:
I went to the store, and bought yummy grapes.
If I hold my finger over the comma and conjunction, here is
what I see:
I went to the store, and bought yummy grapes.
I went to the store. That is definitely a complete sentence.
Bought yummy grapes. That is NOT a complete sentence.
That means that I DO NOT have a compound sentence.
To fix it, I would do this:
I went to the store, and I bought yummy grapes.
You will see that I had to add the word “I” to make the
second sentence I joined complete.
Advanced challenge: You can also form compound sentences
by using a semicolon. When you form a compound sentence by
semicolon, there is no need for a conjunction.
I can wiggle my ears; it makes my son laugh.
Try it!!
Have fun writing your sentences! I can’t wait to learn some
unique facts about YOU!
In your first sentence, you should use the conjunction
“and”. In your second, you should use the conjunction
“but”, and in your third sentence, you should use the
conjunction “or”.
Post your three compound sentences on the discussion
board and submit your assessment for scoring.
Don’t forget to respond to a classmate by commenting
on what you learned about him/her and/or what you
may have had in common. Please remember to write
your response in friendly letter form.
Note: You will use this same skill on part II of your segment
exam.
7.05B:
Complete as directed.
7.06 7.06A:
It’s your turn to write a script!
Your script should be at least 10 lines and should be
between at least two characters.
You should use at least 5 of your vocabulary words
from your module 6 or 7 glossaries.
You should include a minor conflict.
Be sure that you use your words with the meanings you
see on your glossaries. Keep in mind, some words have
multiple meanings.
Post your script on the discussion board and submit
your assessment for scoring.
Be sure to respond to the script of a classmate, sharing
what you liked about his/her writing. Don’t forget to
write your response in friendly letter form.
7.06B:
Complete as directed.
7.07 This assessment is for students completing the advanced
section of the course. Please let me know if you have specific
questions on this assessment.
7.08 Review your work in your module.
Resubmit any assessments that you choose to improve.
Complete your chapter review and check your score
when you are complete.
Keep in mind, these questions are similar to the types of
questions you will see later on your segment exam. If you are
not pleased with your score, I am happy to reset your exam
for you. I am happy to review any information with you that
you found confusing or unclear.
Module 8
Tips for Success
8.00 Print your itinerary and place it behind a new tab in
your language arts notebook.
Check your dated pace chart to make sure that you are
on target or ahead of pace. If you have fallen behind,
plan to complete extra assignments each week until you
are back on track.
As you read each lesson:
*Carefully read all information
*Click on each link you see and carefully review the
information on each
*Complete practice activities as you encounter each
*Print important pages/take careful notes. Place all
practice activities and notes in your language arts
notebook.
8.01 On the “Embark” page, you will be asked to keep a list of
personal vocabulary words as you read through the passages in
this module. You will turn this in for your assessment for
lesson 8.06.
You will be focusing on biographies in this lesson, and you will
be practicing your research skills.
On the “Explore” page, you are given 6 questions to answer as
you read the passage at the link “Harriet Tubman Biography”.
As you write your answers to these questions, you will want to be mindful to paraphrase. There is a VERY important section in this lesson at the link “Plagiarism Tutorial”. Part of learning how to research properly is to learn how to explain what you have learned, rather than word-for-word, directly from the text.
After you read about Ms. Tubman and answer your questions
(being careful to paraphrase), you will write an obituary.
Please click “Writing Process Steps to Write an Obituary” for
further detail.
Your obituary for Ms. Tubman should be two
paragraphs in length. Each paragraph should be five,
full sentences and should have a clear beginning,
middle, and end.
Use the details in the six questions you answered as
you read as the detail for your paragraphs.
Focus on her early years in the first paragraph.
Remember, an obituary begins by sharing the name of
the person and the date of death.
Focus on her later years in the second paragraph.
Please proofread what you have written so that you are
using proper spelling, punctuation, capitalization, and
grammar. You want your writing quality to be as
polished as your ideas.
8.02 8.02A:
You will be exploring autobiographies in this lesson.
On the “Explore” page, you will find several links to
information about the life of Abraham Lincoln, including
a piece written by Lincoln himself.
As you read, be sure to gather details about nine major
points in his life (including his birth, election as US
President, and his death).
You will use your notes to create a timeline of Lincoln’s
life. There are specific instructions at the link
“Timeline Instructions and Rubric”.
Your timeline will include 9 major events from Lincoln’s
life including his year of birth, his election as US
President, and his death.
If you use the “ReadWriteThink” link to create your
timeline, you cannot save your work. You must print it,
scan it, save it is a jpeg file, and submit that way.
You can also create a list of events, if you choose. It
will look similar to this:
Year event
Year event
Year event
And so on…
Please be mindful to continue to show your paraphrasing skills. Copying word for word is not allowed. You are welcome to review the “Plagiarism Tutorial” from lesson 8.01.
8.02B:
As you can see in our SEGMENT PACE CHART PLUS, this is an
EXEMPT assignment. This is a PRACTICE assignment only and
will not count toward your overall grade average.
8.03 You will be writing your own mini biography! I can’t WAIT to
learn more about you!!!
For specific directions, click the link “Writing the
Autobiographical Sketch” from your “Explore” page.
You will write three paragraphs focusing on three
specific periods in your life.
Paragraph 1: Infancy or toddler years
Paragraph 2: Kindergarten or Elementary school years
Paragraph 3: Middle School
Each paragraph should be five, full sentences. You
should have a clear topic, supporting sentences, and
closing for each.
You are asked to include a photo for each paragraph.
If you can include actual photos of yourself—that’s GREAT!!
You may find that your file becomes too large to attach. If
that is the case, try emailing it to me. You can also try saving
each photo/paragraph as a separate file (three files total).
If you are not able to include actual photos of yourself, no
worries! You are welcome to include clip art or other images
to illustrate these times in your life. For example, if you are
writing about having a favorite blanket when you were a baby,
you could find an image of a baby blanket. I hope that helps!
8.04 8.04A:
You will be writing your FUTURE autobiography! How cool!!!
You will write three paragraphs. For specific directions and
writing ideas, from the “Explore” page, click the link “Future
Focus Autobiography Writing Process Steps”.
Paragraph 1: You will write about your life 10 years
from now.
Paragraphs 2 and 3: You will focus on the world around
you. You will discuss living accommodations,
transportation, clothing, and education. (Choose two
topics for each paragraph.)
Be sure to write from the point of view of the “future”
you. You will be writing in present tense. You will use
words like “it is”, “there are”, “we have”, etc.
Remember, each paragraph should have five, full
sentences and should have a clear topic, body, and
closing.
8.04B
As you can see in our SEGMENT PACE CHART PLUS, this is an
EXEMPT assignment. This is a PRACTICE assignment only and
will not count toward your overall grade average.
8.05 8.05A:
Read your lesson, complete practice activities, take
notes/print helpful information, and complete your
assessment as directed.
8.05B:
As you can see in our SEGMENT PACE CHART PLUS, this is an
EXEMPT assignment. This is a PRACTICE assignment only and
will not count toward your overall grade average.
8.06 You will be turning in the personal vocabulary words that you
gathered as you worked through Module 8.
For each word, you will need to include:
Word
Part of Speech (noun, verb, adjective, or adverb)
Definition
A sentence that you have written to show you
understand how to correctly use each word. Challenge
yourself to use more than one word in each sentence.

section of the course. Please let me know if you have specific
questions on this assessment.
8.08 8.08A:
Review your work in your module.
Resubmit any assessments that you choose to improve.
Complete your chapter review and check your score
when you are complete.
Keep in mind, these questions are similar to the types of
questions you will see later on your segment exam. If you are
not pleased with your score, I am happy to reset your exam
for you. I am happy to review any information with you that
you found confusing or unclear.
8.09B:
Call, text, email, or schedule an appointment for me to call you
for your oral exam. I will give you the password to your
segment exam when we talk. Please review your notes prior to
our conversation.
LIVE LESSON ALERT!!!
Each and every week we offer a LIVE segment exam review. Please check the
calendar of live lessons on your course announcement page and make plans to attend.
8.09 This is your segment exam.
8.09A:
This portion requires a password, which you should receive at
the end of your last oral exam. This portion of the test is
multiple choice and matching.
8.09B:
This is the written portion of your exam.
Open your work for either 8.03 or 8.04.
You will take the three paragraphs you wrote for either
assignment, and you will add one compound sentence
to each.
Please highlight or bold the sentences you add so that
they are clear to me.
If you would like a review on compound sentence
writing, we have a great guide for you in the purple help
box. Please, also, return to the Segment Tips for 7.05.
Please proofread all that you have written so that you
are using proper spelling, punctuation, capitalization,
and grammar. You want your writing quality to be as
polished as your ideas.
Congratulations on completing your course!!!!!
I am SO proud of you!!!!
