Math 8C
section 11.1 questions should be complete. A worksheet on 11.1 should be completed for homework.
LA Classes
Due Friday: Horor (or Scary) Stories.
The students should have the setting completed and the characters developed. So, for the rest of this week they are to write their story. Stories should be at least three pages and hopefully no more than six pages. I would like the students to focus on writing DETAILS into their stories. Details should be used when describing someone or someplace and also used for small sounds such as creaks in the floorboards.
Students should be editting and revising their story before passing it in.

Test on fractions this Friday. See yesterday's post for details.
Answers for the review booklet:
1. C 2. A 3. B 4. C 5. A 6. C 7. B 8. B 9. B 10. A
11. C 12. C 13. A 14. A 15. B 16. B 17. A
18. $187 19. 15 20. 16/25
21 a) 20 b) 8 c) 19 d) 27
22 a) 68 b) 57 c) 52 d) 84
23 a) 27 b) 32 c) 50 d) 42
24. 4/12 X 9/12 = 36/144 reduced 1/4
I would reduce from the beginning to look like:
1/3 X 3/4 = 3/12 reduced 1/4
25. 5/8 x 32 = 20 had cell phones; 3/4 of 20 = 15 people had music devices
26. Audrey ate 1/16 of 32 = 2 pieces
Class ate 3/4 of 32 = 24 pieces
so there is now 6 pieces remaining in which the brothers would eat 1/3 each, so 1/3 of 6 is equal to 2 pieces each.

* be close to one page in length
* describe yourself as you were before you developed this sudden disorder* give the name of your phobia and tell what it means
* tell how you developed your phobia (should be some very interesting thoughts here)
* tell how the phobia is affecting your life so drastically
* make a plea for help to the talk show host, because there must be others like you out there, somewhere.
