Homework Packet

You are expected to complete a total of 15 homework assignments this quarter.

Please follow all directions carefully. No credit will be given for any assignment that does not follow all specifications. No credit for incomplete assignments. If you complete the ENTIRE 5 assignments for a homework packet I will accept it one day late for 100 points. After that, no credit will be given.

Choose 15 of the following assignments as your homework for this quarter. Each assignment is 20 points, for a total of 100 points each time homework packets are collected. All 5 assignments should be stapled together. At the top of each assignment you should label which assignment number it is. Also, you will need to complete a cover sheet and staple it to the top of your packet. You may not do an assignment more than once unless specified. Any writing assignments should demonstrate your knowledge of vocabulary learned in this class and should not involve the use of a dictionary or translator or any unknown vocabulary.

It is expected that you will use correct spelling of all vocabulary words. You have access to your vocabulary lists while completing these assignments.
