March 31, 2009

IOWA tests are over. You guys did a wonderful job, but don't wear yourself out celebrating. I know that many of your teachers are giving tests over the next few days, and, no, that is not an April Fool's joke.

You DO have an English test tomorrow. Please come with your Chapter 22 packets completed, and be familiar with all uses of end marks and commas. Abbreviations will be tricky since you probably have the least amount of experience with them, but the rules on commas can be difficult, especially with determining if a clause or phrase is essential or nonessential. Feel free to do as much practice from the book so you may get a feel for what the editor's deem essential versus nonessential.

Once again, the test is on Chapter 22 of Elements of Language. We will review briefly in class, but you should be ready to ask any questions when you get to the room. Tomorrow is not the time to start becoming familiar with the material.
