 * Students **: Below you will find step-by-step instructions on what you will be doing for the next 2 class periods. I will be walking around and monitoring the class periodically, but I will also be at my desk grading last week's research papers. Please raise your hand or come to my desk if you have any questions. If you finish the assignments below and have spare time, please begin analyzing Jonathan Swift's //A Modest Proposal.//

**Monday, April 29th, 2013**: 1) Begin by defining these 25 SAT vocabulary words using: Quizlet . You may reference the Online Dictionary to find the a good definition.      For specific directions on how to use Quizlet, follow the guidelines below: (a) Title your set "SAT Vocab Lesson 1" (b) Put "English" for the subject (c) Make sure that the editors are "just me" ONLY (d) Begin defining the 25 words When you have completed the set, email me at maria_mulrooney@knights.ucf.edu with the URL to your Quizlet set so I can give you a class credit.   2) Copy and paste the following 2 SAT Worksheets into Microsoft Word: SAT Worksheets Refer to the answer sheet when and ONLY when you have completed the assignment. Please see me before you move on to checking answers so I can give you approval. Test questions on next week's test will stem from these worksheets, so when you complete both of them, save a copy to your flashdrive so you can study them later. Please save this document as " lastname_satvocab1" and attach it as a file when you email me at: maria_mulrooney@knights.ucf.edu. ** Tuesday, April 30th, 2013: ** 1) Go to the software Inspiration which can be found if you click on the 'start' icon at the bottom lower-left screen. Type in 'Inspiration' and click on the program. You will be creating a web of 10 literary devices of your choice, all which need to have a definition and example (in sentence form). You can add pictures if you choose to enhance your project, but this will only be counted for extra credit (worth 2 points total). Your web needs to be as creative as you can, with minor errors in spelling and clear organization. Use the following rubric as a guide while working on your web. Submit your final assignment as an email attachment. Be sure to save your file as 'lastname.firstname-devices'.   2) After you have completed your web, you will have the last 15-20 minutes of class to take a self-assessment on ProProfs. It is 10 questions long covering literary devices. Please do not use your notes or Inspiration web, this is solely as a guide to help me in seeing what strategies you all are struggling most with. Please copy and paste your Results Page into Microsoft Word and print it off and place your copy on the desk in the front of the classroom. (Extra time): Read the first 2 pages of Jonathan Swift's story A Modest Proposal and analyze it for literary devices and any words that seem unfamiliar to you. You need to find at least 5 of each, but do not exceed 8 terms. Record your answers in a MS Word document that can be accessed at a later time next class period to finish the assignment. Students, please make sure you are saving all of these assignments to your flashdrive. The year will go by quickly and before you know it, final exams will be around the corner! These are all beneficial reviews that will help you later with tests and exams.
