Tuesday, April 16th, 2013

Dear Juniors,

If you missed class, we completed the following:

1. CRT will take place on Wednesday and Friday, April 24th and 26th! If you miss the test, then you are required to take the test during another English period. DON'T MISS, my young friends, as you will miss Gatsby.
 Part of the CRT involves Latin roots. I gave the roots to each student, along with meanings. Your homework assignment for THURSDAY involves making flashcards for each root, and then LOCATING A MINIMUM of THREE WORDS that are derived from the LATIN ROOT.

Bene=Good
Phile=Love
Photo=Light
Dia=Across
Dyna=Power
Dom=Rule/Power
Liber=Free
Lent=full of
Fid=Faith
Ject=Throw
Form=shape
Demo=people
Ad=toward
Trib=Honor/Pay
Cracy=Government
Tract=Pull
Pulse=Drive
Sym=Together
Vore=Eat
 Vita=Life

 2. We then "took a quiz" covering the symbolism found within chapters 1 and 2 of Gatsby. If you missed class, you will need to visit with me about the process involved with making up the quiz.

I will see you on Thursday.
Cheers,
KC
