Great to see you all! I missed you!

**Your Civil War letter #3 deadline is extended until Wednesday. So, tonight, you should:

a.    If needed, fix your Civil War letters #1 and #2.  At minimum, add in the requirements of “Two things I learned about the Civil War or the Civil War time period…” and questions to your partner to push his/her thinking deeper about his/her book. Also, use the heading that is outlined in the packet!

b.    If needed, add sentences and/or parts of speech to Lincoln chapter 3 vocabulary list. Make SURE that your sentence demonstrates the word’s meaning (this is another step beyond using it properly).

c.    Due Tuesday: the vocabulary and sentences below that are from Lincoln ch 4 (you do not need to read the chapter–just do the vocabulary and sentences).

d.    Due Wednesday:

1. Civil War letter #3 (book should be halfway read by then! )

2. Writer’s notebook assignment about your photo.
Lincoln: A Photobiography
Chapter 4: Half Slave and Half Free
Vocabulary

Directions:  Look up the following words, define them and give their part of speech.  Then go on to use each word in a sentence of your own making that shows you understand the word’s meaning.  We’ll talk more about how to do this in class.

Please note:
You must use the word’s definition that MATCHES its use in the book!  (That’s why the page numbers are included).  You may work with a partner on this, but you must make up your own sentences.  For the quiz, you will be asked to know:
a. part of speech
b. definitions
c. how to make a sentence that demonstrates the word’s meaning.
