Pick up the ACT practice and complete problems 1-3 ONLY.
In the margin, explain why you selected your answer.
If there is an exact line, highlight it
We will go over it in a few minutes.

6. Answers:
B- Verb tense: Use the present tense verb has, since the sentence is commenting on the current state of Facebook. Also, has agrees with the subject “making connections;” although connections ends in –s, the subject is actually singular, since it is the complete gerund phrase.
J- Adding and deleting information: The statement should be kept in the passage because the author is merely speculating on the supposed origins of the site but does not provide ubstantiated facts for this claim.
B- Punctuation: Choice B creates a sentence fragment since it is missing a subject.

7. Agenda:
Bell Ringer
Determining Importance
Cross Out

8. Determining importance:
Knowing the purpose for reading helps to determine what's important. Good readers can determine the most important themes and ideas in a text.

9. We are going to read an article:
As we read, cross out information that you feel is not important.
Share with your partner what you crossed out.
Is it the same?
What is left?
HOPEFULLY, the important info is left!

10. Important info about you:
First make a list of what is important to you.
Items
People
Places
Then, Take the piece of paper that Mrs. Webster gave you and add this information using the magazines provided.
If you cannot find certain items, ask Mrs. Webster to print it for you.
Due at the end of class!

11. Wednesday Bell Ringer:
Get out the ACT practice and complete questions 4-6 only.
In the margin, explain why you selected your answer.
If there is an exact line, highlight it
We will go over it in a few minutes.

12. Answers:
G- Pronoun reference: The singular pronoun it correctly refers to the antecedent Facebook.
D- Misplaced Modifier: The sentence intends to show the progress Zuckerberg made in just a few short years. If the underlined portion were moved after the word living, it would suggest that he lived in a dorm for a few short years, instead of the correct emphasis that his transition from being a college student to a tech giant occurred over the span of only a few years.
H- Word Choice: Eliminate choices G and J because they use slang like “make bank” and “was an idiot.” Choice F may seem better, but the expression could have made a lot of money is overly wordy and doesn’t quite convey the profitability of the offer. Choice H is stronger because it uses slightly more sophisticated wording like lucrative.

13. SSR Wednesday: We will be heading to the library.
Ms. Miskell will be going over the rules and expectations of the library.
Then, quickly find and check out a book.
Ms. Miskell and Mrs. Webster can check them out for you.
Then, find a spot to read and begin!
Do not waste your time.
Make sure you fill in the Reading Log (I will let you know when you have about 5 minutes left)
PROJECTS DUE FRIDAY!!!

14. Thursday Bell Ringer:
Pick up the ACT practice and complete problems 7-8 only.
In the margin, explain why you selected your answer.
If there is an exact line, highlight it
We will go over it in a few minutes.
TURN IN YOUR READING LOG IF YOU DIDN’T YESTERDAY!
Also, your reading projects are due tomorrow!!

15. Answers:
A- Adding and deleting information: The article discusses Facebook, but then switches to a different term, “Facemash.” Therefore, the explanation is necessary in order to clarify this discrepancy.
H- Word Choice: The original choice, “according to legend,” implies that the following statement may be unconfirmed. This is similar in meaning to allegedly (choice F), supposedly (choice G), and “some say” (choice J). Choice H, “without a doubt,” on the other hand, means the opposite.
