• Create three method questions for passage 2 from class. Use the list of rhetorical strategies to from the lesson to guide you.
• Compose five to ten vocabulary sentences using any ten words from this lesson.
• Read the homework passage (3) and create eight questions. Your questions can be open-ended, but must include at least two method questions.
• Study for a vocabulary quiz on the words from last week CHILD LABOR. You can find a word list with definitions on that post.

IF YOU HAVE ANY MISSING ASSIGNMENTS FROM LAST WEEK, SUBMIT THEM AS SOON AS POSSIBLE, ESPECIALLY THE ESSAY. IT IS VERY HARD TO CATCH UP IN THIS CLASS IF YOU DO NOT DO THE HOMEWORK ON TIME. IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO GET A B OR BETTER IN THIS CLASS IF YOU DO NOT COMPLETE MOST ASSIGNMENTS.
