All look at pages 7-11. Then copy red headings into your daybook in a way that maintains the hierarchy.


Establish a vocabulary section in your daybook. Flag. Enter TWFTD: drudgery. Definition? Google? For this word, today, you should use a quote from the Bedford Guide. BUT for all other words, you must choose and copy down a quote using the word, AND GIVE THE SOURCE --an author and a site or publication.

Homework:


1. Read pages 6-15 in Bedford. In your daybook, write out two paragraphs based on the "Learning by Doing" at the bottom of page 13.


2. Find TWO EXAMPLES of written directions to bring to class. These could be the directions for any product OR a school assignment OR a "how to" from online OR in a manual. They must be hard copies.
