1 Corinthians – Research and Student Leadership Project

In our study of 1 Corinthians you will become the teacher. You will be given a short passage in 1 Corinthians and will design a power point presentation to teach the class explaining the verses.  In addition, you will create a worksheet that the class will fill in during your Bible lecture.  

This will be a collaborative effort with one or more students working together on this project.  On Monday we will talk about the details and I will give you a sample worksheet that you will use as a guideline.

ELA ~ Ms. Kirk ~ April 25-29, 2016

The week we will continue discussing and working on writing skills and understanding how sentences are thoughts.  Sentences give us insight into several different levels of clarity including:

• clarity of sentence
• clarity of paragraph
• clarity of thesis

Students will review over the importance of being clear in their writing and expressing two things:

1.  What we are talking about - Subject
2.  What we are saying about it - Predicate


Each student will continue working on their composition writing project and apply what we have been studying in class about part of a sentence, punctuation, usage, and grammar.

Master Grammar Test - Monday, April 18

• Vocabulary (14 words)
• Parallel Verb Tense
• Mood Tenses (indicative, imperative, subjunctive)
• Six Verb Tenses
• Transitive/Intransitive Verbs 
• Emphatic Form
• Types of Pronouns
• Coordinate Adjectives
• Cumulative Adjectives
• Three Degrees of Adjectives
• Coordinating & Subordinating Conjunctions
• Correlative Conjunctions
• Conjunctive Adverbs
• Interjections

The rest of the week we will be discussing and working on writing construction and skills.  In order  to say anything clearly we need two things:

1.  What we are talking about - Subject
2.  What we are saying about it - Predicate

In writing it is important to write sentences that are composed mostly of parts of sentence, with few modifiers.  Pick a strong noun as a direct object - one that does not need an adjective to rescue it.  This helps to write tight sentences and allows the main terms of thought to stand out clearly.

Physics April 4 - 8, 2016

We got started on a research project to discover contributions to physics/chemistry by people unfamiliar to us. After a very brief expression of panic, you got down to business and began to enjoy the challenge!  You have a rubric, which we as a class have modified a couple of times:  No essay is required!  Follow the rubric for the guidelines:  power point with specific questions to research and present and an appropriate prop.  Presentation date is April 25.
