Usage

Students will study and present tools on proper usage.
  1. Each day one student will present the commonly confused words, explain their actual meanings, and provide sample sentences for each word.  
  2. A log will be kept in the notes and students will have to create their own example sentences at the end of each day's presentations.  
  3. Quizzes will be given on a bi-weekly basis, and notebooks will be checked during those quizzes.  
  4. Incomplete/missing notebooks or failed quizzes will result in mandatory One Lunch attendance to complete the notebook and pass the quiz.
